Which radars cover Waldenburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 62 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 Waldenburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 62 mi east-southeast | 4,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 90 mi west-southwest | 8,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 159 mi northeast | 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.
