Which radars cover Woodville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHDC (Hammond, LA), about 67 miles 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 Woodville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHDC Hammond, LA | 67 mi southeast | 5,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPOE Fort Polk, LA | 99 mi west | 9,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLIX New Orleans, LA | 102 mi east-southeast | 10,000 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.
