Which radars cover Lueders?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDYX (Dyess AFB, TX), about 28 miles 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 Lueders | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDYX Dyess AFB, TX | 28 mi southeast | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSJT San Angelo, TX | 111 mi south-southwest | 11,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 114 mi north-northeast | 11,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
