Which radars cover Raymondville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBRO (Brownsville, TX), about 45 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 Raymondville	View
KBRO Brownsville, TX	45 mi south-southeast	3,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCRP Corpus Christi, TX	92 mi north	8,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KEWX San Antonio, TX	224 mi north	35,300 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.
