Which radars cover Mount Pleasant?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 82 miles 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 Mount Pleasant | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 82 mi southeast | 7,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 141 mi west-southwest | 16,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 151 mi north-northeast | 18,400 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.
