Which radars cover Bond?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLIX (New Orleans, LA), about 55 miles 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 Bond | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLIX New Orleans, LA | 55 mi southwest | 4,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMOB Mobile, AL | 57 mi east-southeast | 4,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHDC Hammond, LA | 78 mi west-southwest | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
