Which radars cover Tulsita?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCRP (Corpus Christi, TX), about 62 miles south-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 Tulsita | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCRP Corpus Christi, TX | 62 mi south-southeast | 4,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KEWX San Antonio, TX | 74 mi north | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 146 mi north | 17,400 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.
