Which radars cover Jerusalem?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 51 miles southeast. 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 Jerusalem | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 51 mi southeast | 3,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 87 mi west | 7,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 130 mi north-northwest | 14,500 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.
