Which radars cover Roby?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDYX (Dyess AFB, TX), about 67 miles east-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 Roby	View
KDYX Dyess AFB, TX	67 mi east-southeast	5,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KSJT San Angelo, TX	95 mi south	8,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KLBB Lubbock, TX	104 mi northwest	10,200 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.
