Which radars cover Bloomburg?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 49 miles south-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 Bloomburg	View
KSHV Shreveport, LA	49 mi south-southeast	3,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KSRX Fort Smith, AR	150 mi north	18,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KPOE Fort Polk, LA	151 mi south-southeast	18,400 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.
