Which radars cover Mount Holly?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 79 miles southwest. 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 Mount Holly | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 79 mi southwest | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 113 mi north-northeast | 11,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KPOE Fort Polk, LA | 149 mi south | 17,900 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.
