Which radars cover Boligee?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBMX (Birmingham, AL), about 78 miles east-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 Boligee	View
KBMX Birmingham, AL	78 mi east-northeast	6,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGWX Columbus AFB, MS	80 mi north-northwest	6,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KDGX Jackson, MS	119 mi west-southwest	12,500 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.
