Which radars cover Redfield?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 28 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 Redfield | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 28 mi north | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 137 mi west-northwest | 15,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 145 mi east-northeast | 17,300 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.
