Which radars cover New Home?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLBB (Lubbock, TX), about 23 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 New Home | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 23 mi north-northeast | 1,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX | 97 mi south | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 132 mi north | 14,800 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.
