Which radars cover Iraan?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMAF (Midland/Odessa, TX), about 73 miles north-northwest. 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 Iraan | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX | 73 mi north-northwest | 6,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSJT San Angelo, TX | 89 mi east-northeast | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX | 149 mi southeast | 18,000 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.
