Which radars cover Godley?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 16 miles east-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 Godley	View
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	16 mi east-northeast	800 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KDYX Dyess AFB, TX	100 mi west	9,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGRK Central Texas, TX	120 mi south	12,800 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.
