Which radars cover Doyline?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 25 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 Doyline | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 25 mi west | 1,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPOE Fort Polk, LA | 98 mi south-southeast | 9,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLCH Lake Charles, LA | 166 mi south | 21,400 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.
