Which radars cover Bragg City?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 64 miles south. 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 Bragg City	View
KNQA Memphis, TN	64 mi south	5,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KPAH Paducah, KY	84 mi northeast	7,400 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	149 mi east-northeast	18,100 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.
