Which radars cover Moore?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 74 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 Moore | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEWX San Antonio, TX | 74 mi northeast | 6,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX | 78 mi west-northwest | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCRP Corpus Christi, TX | 127 mi southeast | 13,800 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.
