Which radars cover Farmerville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 87 miles west-southwest. 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 Farmerville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 87 mi west-southwest | 7,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPOE Fort Polk, LA | 117 mi south-southwest | 12,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 143 mi north | 16,700 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.
