Which radars cover Delaplaine?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 78 miles 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 Delaplaine | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 78 mi southeast | 6,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 123 mi east-northeast | 13,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 129 mi southwest | 14,300 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.
