Which radars cover Easton?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 44 miles east. 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 Easton | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 44 mi east | 3,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPOE Fort Polk, LA | 127 mi southeast | 14,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 159 mi west | 19,900 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.
