Which radars cover Robert Lee?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSJT (San Angelo, TX), about 36 miles south. 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 Robert Lee	View
KSJT San Angelo, TX	36 mi south	2,300 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KDYX Dyess AFB, TX	85 mi east-northeast	7,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX	100 mi west	9,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
