Which radars cover Stanton?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMAF (Midland/Odessa, TX), about 27 miles west-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 Stanton	View
KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX	27 mi west-southwest	1,600 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KSJT San Angelo, TX	93 mi southeast	8,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KLBB Lubbock, TX	105 mi north	10,400 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.
