Which radars cover Kingsland?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 68 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 Kingsland | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 68 mi north | 5,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
