Which radars cover Miles?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSJT (San Angelo, TX), about 24 miles southwest. 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 Miles	View
KSJT San Angelo, TX	24 mi southwest	1,400 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KDYX Dyess AFB, TX	85 mi northeast	7,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX	120 mi west-northwest	12,700 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.
