Which radars cover Woodlawn?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLZK (Little Rock, AR), about 61 miles north-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 Woodlawn	View
KLZK Little Rock, AR	61 mi north-northwest	4,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KSHV Shreveport, LA	147 mi southwest	17,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KNQA Memphis, TN	156 mi northeast	19,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
