Which radars cover Hull?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHGX (Houston, TX), about 53 miles south-southwest. 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 Hull	View
KHGX Houston, TX	53 mi south-southwest	3,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KLCH Lake Charles, LA	85 mi east	7,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KPOE Fort Polk, LA	121 mi northeast	12,900 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.
