Which radars cover Rosebud?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRK (Central Texas, TX), about 34 miles southwest. 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 Rosebud | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 34 mi southwest | 2,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 105 mi north | 10,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
