Which radars cover Rockwell Place?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KAMA (Amarillo, TX), about 18 miles northeast. 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 Rockwell Place | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 18 mi northeast | 1,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 96 mi south | 9,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 101 mi west-southwest | 9,800 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.
