Which radars cover Hermleigh?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDYX (Dyess AFB, TX), about 87 miles east. 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 Hermleigh | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDYX Dyess AFB, TX | 87 mi east | 7,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSJT San Angelo, TX | 89 mi south | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 93 mi northwest | 8,600 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.
