Which radars cover New Blaine?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSRX (Fort Smith, AR), about 53 miles west. 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 New Blaine | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 53 mi west | 3,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 73 mi east-southeast | 6,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 134 mi north | 15,200 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.
