Which radars cover Havana?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 49 miles west-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 Havana	View
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	49 mi west-northwest	3,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KLZK Little Rock, AR	74 mi east-southeast	6,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KINX Tulsa, OK	136 mi west-northwest	15,500 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.
