Which radars cover New Edinburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 75 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 New Edinburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 75 mi north | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 129 mi southwest | 14,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 161 mi northwest | 20,300 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.
