Which radars cover Plumerville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 31 miles southeast. 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 Plumerville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 31 mi southeast | 1,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 97 mi west | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSGF Springfield, MO | 150 mi north-northwest | 18,100 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.
