Which radars cover Iredell?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 52 miles northeast. 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 Iredell | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 52 mi northeast | 3,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDYX Dyess AFB, TX | 89 mi west-northwest | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 92 mi south-southeast | 8,500 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.
