Which radars cover Quanah?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDR (Frederick, OK), about 44 miles east. 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 Quanah	View
KFDR Frederick, OK	44 mi east	3,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KDYX Dyess AFB, TX	125 mi south-southeast	13,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KLBB Lubbock, TX	127 mi west-southwest	13,900 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.
