Which radars cover Texhoma?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KAMA (Amarillo, TX), about 87 miles south. 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 Texhoma | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 87 mi south | 7,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDDC Dodge City, KS | 133 mi northeast | 15,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 164 mi southwest | 21,100 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.
