Which radars cover Nolanville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRK (Central Texas, TX), about 28 miles south-southeast. 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 Nolanville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 28 mi south-southeast | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KEWX San Antonio, TX | 98 mi south-southwest | 9,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 105 mi north | 10,400 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.
