Which radars cover Fort Stockton?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMAF (Midland/Odessa, TX), about 83 miles north-northeast. 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 Fort Stockton | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX | 83 mi north-northeast | 7,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSJT San Angelo, TX | 145 mi east-northeast | 17,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX | 192 mi southeast | 27,200 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.
