Which radars cover Lytle?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 56 miles 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 Lytle	View
KEWX San Antonio, TX	56 mi northeast	4,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX	90 mi west	8,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KCRP Corpus Christi, TX	127 mi southeast	13,900 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.
