Which radars cover Weimar?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 75 miles west. 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 Weimar | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEWX San Antonio, TX | 75 mi west | 6,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGRK Central Texas, TX | 79 mi north-northwest | 6,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHGX Houston, TX | 103 mi east | 10,100 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.
