Which radars cover Tyronza?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 29 miles east-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 Tyronza | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 29 mi east-southeast | 1,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 117 mi west-southwest | 12,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 140 mi northeast | 16,300 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.
