Weather Radar

The KGRK NEXRAD station at Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood) covers the entire Central Texas region including Austin, San Antonio, Waco, and the Hill Country. It provides dual-polarization radar data that can distinguish between rain, hail, and debris.

During severe weather season (March–June), monitor this radar for approaching supercells, squall lines, and tornado-producing storms. Austin's position between the Edwards Plateau and the Coastal Plains creates a natural convergence zone for severe weather.
