Which radars cover Lometa?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRK (Central Texas, TX), about 69 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 Lometa | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 69 mi east-southeast | 5,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDYX Dyess AFB, TX | 104 mi north-northwest | 10,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KEWX San Antonio, TX | 107 mi south-southeast | 10,600 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.
