Which radars cover Warren?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLCH (Lake Charles, LA), about 79 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 Warren | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLCH Lake Charles, LA | 79 mi east-southeast | 6,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |

| KPOE Fort Polk, LA | 94 mi east-northeast | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
