Which radars cover Redland?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 89 miles northeast. 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 Redland | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSHV Shreveport, LA | 89 mi northeast | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPOE Fort Polk, LA | 104 mi east | 10,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLCH Lake Charles, LA | 126 mi southeast | 13,700 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.
