Which radars cover Coffeeville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMOB (Mobile, AL), about 76 miles south. 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 Coffeeville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMOB Mobile, AL | 76 mi south | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 117 mi west-northwest | 12,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBMX Birmingham, AL | 124 mi northeast | 13,400 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.
