Which radars cover Lockesburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 92 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 Lockesburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 92 mi north | 8,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 107 mi south | 10,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 125 mi east-northeast | 13,500 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.
