Which radars cover Rosedale?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHDC (Hammond, LA), about 63 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 Rosedale	View
KHDC Hammond, LA	63 mi east	4,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KLIX New Orleans, LA	98 mi east	9,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KPOE Fort Polk, LA	103 mi west-northwest	10,000 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.
