Which radars cover Gosnell?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 43 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 Gosnell | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 43 mi south | 2,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 101 mi northeast | 9,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 151 mi west-southwest | 18,300 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.
