Which radars cover Goliad?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCRP (Corpus Christi, TX), about 62 miles south. 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 Goliad | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCRP Corpus Christi, TX | 62 mi south | 4,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KEWX San Antonio, TX | 81 mi north-northwest | 7,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 142 mi north | 16,600 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.
