Which radars cover East End?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 20 miles north. 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 East End | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 20 mi north | 1,100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 126 mi west-northwest | 13,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 149 mi east-northeast | 18,000 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.
