Which radars cover Texline?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KAMA (Amarillo, TX), about 108 miles southeast. 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 Texline | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 108 mi southeast | 10,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |

| KPUX Pueblo, CO | 157 mi north-northwest | 19,700 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.
