Which radars cover Dermott?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 102 miles north-northwest. 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 Dermott | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 102 mi north-northwest | 9,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 120 mi southeast | 12,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 154 mi northeast | 18,900 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.
