Which radars cover Meadow?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLBB (Lubbock, TX), about 31 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 Meadow | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 31 mi northeast | 1,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX | 96 mi south | 9,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 121 mi northwest | 12,900 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.
