Which radars cover Pindall?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSGF (Springfield, MO), about 86 miles north-northwest. 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 Pindall	View
KSGF Springfield, MO	86 mi north-northwest	7,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KLZK Little Rock, AR	91 mi south-southeast	8,400 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	100 mi west-southwest	9,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
