Which radars cover Mobeetie?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KAMA (Amarillo, TX), about 74 miles west-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 Mobeetie | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 74 mi west-southwest | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 116 mi southeast | 12,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 152 mi south-southwest | 18,500 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.
