How much snow does Haskell get?
A normal year brings about 1.3 inches of snow to Haskell, based on NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals for the Benton weather station 4.7 miles away. The snowiest month is usually January (0.6 in).
| Oct | Nov | Dec | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.6 | 0.4 | 0.3 | 0.0 | 0.0 |
Normal snowfall in inches. TALON Pro compares this season's snow at your location with these normals as winter goes on.
Which radars cover Haskell?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 31 miles northeast. 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 Haskell | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 31 mi northeast | 1,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 111 mi west-northwest | 11,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 158 mi south-southwest | 19,800 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.
Tornado & hail history near Haskell
Since 1950, NOAA has recorded 124 tornadoes within 25 miles of Haskell, 50 of them EF2/F2 or stronger. Most came in April and May.

Yes. TALON colors snow blue, a rain–snow mix pink and freezing rain purple using NOAA's precipitation-type analysis. Over Haskell the lowest scan from KLZK is about 1,900 ft up.
Is TALON's radar for Haskell free?
Yes — the US radar loop, rain/snow/ice colors, flash-flood risk, storm tracks and NWS warnings are free in any browser. Close-up radar, rotation detection and longer forecasts are part of TALON Pro.
Should I rely on radar for my safety?
No app replaces official warnings. When the National Weather Service issues a warning for Haskell, follow it right away — see watch vs. warning.
