Which radars cover Hart?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLBB (Lubbock, TX), about 53 miles south-southeast. 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 Hart | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 53 mi south-southeast | 3,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 63 mi north-northeast | 4,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 87 mi west-northwest | 7,800 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.
