Which radars cover Singer?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLCH (Lake Charles, LA), about 38 miles south-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 Singer	View
KLCH Lake Charles, LA	38 mi south-southeast	2,500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KPOE Fort Polk, LA	43 mi northeast	2,900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KSHV Shreveport, LA	127 mi north-northwest	13,900 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.
