Which radars cover Huxley?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 50 miles north. 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 Huxley | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 50 mi north | 3,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPOE Fort Polk, LA | 66 mi southeast | 5,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLCH Lake Charles, LA | 118 mi south-southeast | 12,300 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.
