Which radars cover Seagraves?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLBB (Lubbock, TX), about 66 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 Seagraves | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 66 mi northeast | 5,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX | 72 mi south-southeast | 6,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 132 mi north-northwest | 14,700 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.
