Which radars cover Pine Harbor?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 44 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 Pine Harbor | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 44 mi east-southeast | 3,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPOE Fort Polk, LA | 143 mi southeast | 16,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX | 164 mi west | 20,900 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.
