Which radars cover Mountain View?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 71 miles south. 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 Mountain View | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 71 mi south | 5,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 119 mi northwest | 12,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 131 mi east-southeast | 14,600 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.
