Which radars cover Nash?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 71 miles south-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 Nash | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 71 mi south-southeast | 5,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSRX Fort Smith, AR | 128 mi north | 14,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 144 mi northeast | 17,000 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.
