Which radars cover Keller?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOTX (Spokane, WA), about 58 miles east-southeast. 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 Keller	View
KOTX Spokane, WA	58 mi east-southeast	4,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KPDT Pendleton, OR	166 mi south	21,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA	174 mi west	23,300 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.
