Which radars cover Turrell?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 22 miles east. 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 Turrell	View
KNQA Memphis, TN	22 mi east	1,300 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KLZK Little Rock, AR	119 mi west-southwest	12,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KPAH Paducah, KY	144 mi northeast	17,000 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.
