Which radars cover Enola?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 25 miles south. 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 Enola | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 25 mi south | 1,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 122 mi west | 13,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 132 mi east | 14,800 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.
