Which radars cover DeWitt?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 65 miles 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 DeWitt | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 65 mi northwest | 5,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 111 mi northeast | 11,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 159 mi south-southeast | 20,000 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.
