Which radars cover Gorman?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDYX (Dyess AFB, TX), about 41 miles west-northwest. 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 Gorman	View
KDYX Dyess AFB, TX	41 mi west-northwest	2,700 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	84 mi east-northeast	7,400 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KSJT San Angelo, TX	122 mi west-southwest	13,000 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.
