Which radars cover La Vernia?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 25 miles north-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 La Vernia	View
KEWX San Antonio, TX	25 mi north-northeast	1,500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KGRK Central Texas, TX	105 mi north-northeast	10,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KCRP Corpus Christi, TX	115 mi south-southeast	11,900 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.
