Which radars cover Ingram?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 77 miles east-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 Ingram | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEWX San Antonio, TX | 77 mi east-southeast | 6,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX | 84 mi southwest | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSJT San Angelo, TX | 116 mi northwest | 12,100 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.
