Forecasts come from the National Weather Service's own computer models, and current conditions from the nearest reporting weather station. Both are served through the weather API. A forecast is guidance, not a warning, and anything the Weather Service has actually issued is on the live map.

The written summaries on this page are generated from the forecast data above, not by a meteorologist. Each sentence is a reading of the same numbers you can see, and no forecaster has reviewed them.

Place data from the US Census Bureau. Coordinates are the Census internal point for Refugio, and the forecast is for that location, not for every address inside the city limits, and a large city can have real weather differences from one side to the other.

How well can the network see Refugio?

The nearest Doppler radar is KCRP (Corpus Christi, TX), 39 miles to the SSW. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Refugio its center is about 2,600 ft above ground. That is comfortably inside the useful range. The lowest scan passes low enough over Refugio to show rotation in the part of a storm where tornadoes actually form. Refugio is closer to its radar than 57% of US cities.

The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KRKP · Rockport/Aransas Cnty on the ASOS/AWOS network, 21 miles away. Far enough that "current conditions" for Refugio is an educated reading of somewhere else, worth knowing before you plan around a single temperature.

Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the center of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it. Radar siting from the NWS WSR-88D network, station positions from the Texas observing network as of this build.
