Which radars cover Hutchins?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 35 miles west. 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 Hutchins	View
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	35 mi west	2,200 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KGRK Central Texas, TX	139 mi south-southwest	16,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KDYX Dyess AFB, TX	148 mi west	17,800 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.
