Which radars cover Gause?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRK (Central Texas, TX), about 39 miles west. 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 Gause | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 39 mi west | 2,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KEWX San Antonio, TX | 108 mi southwest | 10,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
