Which radars cover Nordheim?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 59 miles north-northwest. 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 Nordheim	View
KEWX San Antonio, TX	59 mi north-northwest	4,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCRP Corpus Christi, TX	79 mi south	6,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGRK Central Texas, TX	125 mi north	13,600 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.
