Which radars cover Concord?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 62 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 Concord | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 62 mi south-southwest | 4,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 114 mi east | 11,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 138 mi northwest | 15,900 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.
