Which radars cover Lakeport?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 51 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 Lakeport	View
KSHV Shreveport, LA	51 mi east	3,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KPOE Fort Polk, LA	134 mi southeast	15,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	152 mi west	18,500 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.
