Which radars cover Gustine?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDYX (Dyess AFB, TX), about 69 miles 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 Gustine | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDYX Dyess AFB, TX | 69 mi northwest | 5,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 82 mi northeast | 7,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 98 mi southeast | 9,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
