Which radars cover Marshall?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 77 miles south-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 Marshall | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 77 mi south-southeast | 6,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 101 mi north-northwest | 9,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 105 mi west-southwest | 10,400 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.
