Which radars cover Spur?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLBB (Lubbock, TX), about 57 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 Spur	View
KLBB Lubbock, TX	57 mi west-northwest	4,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KDYX Dyess AFB, TX	113 mi southeast	11,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFDR Frederick, OK	124 mi east-northeast	13,300 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.
