Which radars cover Seven Points?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 64 miles west-northwest. 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 Seven Points | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 64 mi west-northwest | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
