Which radars cover Junction?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSJT (San Angelo, TX), about 74 miles 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 Junction	View
KSJT San Angelo, TX	74 mi northwest	6,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX	89 mi south-southwest	8,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KEWX San Antonio, TX	118 mi east-southeast	12,300 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.
