Which radars cover Eldorado?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSJT (San Angelo, TX), about 36 miles north. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.

Radar	Distance	Lowest beam over Eldorado	View
KSJT San Angelo, TX	36 mi north	2,300 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX	111 mi south	11,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX	120 mi northwest	12,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
