Which radars cover Weston?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 64 miles southwest. 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 Weston | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 64 mi southwest | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KTLX Oklahoma City, OK | 143 mi north-northwest | 16,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFDR Frederick, OK | 151 mi west-northwest | 18,300 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.
