Which radars cover St. Maurice?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPOE (Fort Polk, LA), about 42 miles south. 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 St. Maurice | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPOE Fort Polk, LA | 42 mi south | 2,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 71 mi northwest | 5,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLCH Lake Charles, LA | 114 mi south | 11,800 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.
