Which radars cover Saucier?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLIX (New Orleans, LA), about 45 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 Saucier | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLIX New Orleans, LA | 45 mi west-southwest | 3,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |

| KHDC Hammond, LA | 76 mi west | 6,300 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.
