Which radars cover Guerra?

Radar	Distance	Lowest beam over Guerra	View
KCRP Corpus Christi, TX	105 mi northeast	10,400 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBRO Brownsville, TX	113 mi southeast	11,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX	186 mi north-northwest	25,800 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.
