Which radars cover Woodson?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDYX (Dyess AFB, TX), about 35 miles south-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 Woodson	View
KDYX Dyess AFB, TX	35 mi south-southwest	2,200 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KFDR Frederick, OK	93 mi north	8,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	106 mi east-southeast	10,500 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.
