Which radars cover Devers?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHGX (Houston, TX), about 49 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 Devers | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHGX Houston, TX | 49 mi southwest | 3,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLCH Lake Charles, LA | 82 mi east | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPOE Fort Polk, LA | 123 mi northeast | 13,300 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.
