Which radars cover McCaulley?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDYX (Dyess AFB, TX), about 58 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 McCaulley | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDYX Dyess AFB, TX | 58 mi east-southeast | 4,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSJT San Angelo, TX | 99 mi south | 9,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 111 mi west-northwest | 11,300 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.
