Which radars cover Littlefield?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLBB (Lubbock, TX), about 35 miles east-southeast. 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 Littlefield | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 35 mi east-southeast | 2,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 88 mi northwest | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 98 mi north-northeast | 9,200 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.
