Which radars cover Lorenzo?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLBB (Lubbock, TX), about 16 miles west. 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 Lorenzo | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 16 mi west | 900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 108 mi north | 10,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX | 125 mi south-southwest | 13,600 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.
