Which radars cover Lone Star?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 61 miles east-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 Lone Star	View
KSHV Shreveport, LA	61 mi east-southeast	4,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	153 mi west	18,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KPOE Fort Polk, LA	160 mi southeast	20,100 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.
