Which radars cover Annona?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 100 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 Annona | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 100 mi southeast | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 122 mi north-northeast | 13,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 155 mi west-southwest | 19,100 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.
