Which radars cover Kingsville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCRP (Corpus Christi, TX), about 29 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 Kingsville	View
KCRP Corpus Christi, TX	29 mi northeast	1,700 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KBRO Brownsville, TX	113 mi south-southeast	11,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KEWX San Antonio, TX	152 mi north	18,600 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.
