Which radars cover Mooresville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHTX (Huntsville, AL), about 50 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 Mooresville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 50 mi east-northeast | 3,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 97 mi west-southwest | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBMX Birmingham, AL | 101 mi south | 9,700 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.
