Which radars cover Nazareth?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KAMA (Amarillo, TX), about 53 miles north-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 Nazareth | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 53 mi north-northeast | 3,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 64 mi south-southeast | 4,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 87 mi west | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
