Which radars cover Wildorado?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KAMA (Amarillo, TX), about 28 miles east. 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 Wildorado	View
KAMA Amarillo, TX	28 mi east	1,700 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KFDX Cannon AFB, NM	89 mi west-southwest	8,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KLBB Lubbock, TX	110 mi south-southeast	11,100 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.
