Which radars cover Von Ormy?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 48 miles northeast. 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 Von Ormy	View
KEWX San Antonio, TX	48 mi northeast	3,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX	98 mi west	9,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KCRP Corpus Christi, TX	124 mi southeast	13,500 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.
