Which radars cover Daisy?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 81 miles north-northwest. 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 Daisy | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 81 mi north-northwest | 7,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 94 mi east-northeast | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 123 mi south | 13,300 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.
