Which radars cover Deering?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 59 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 Deering | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 59 mi south | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 86 mi northeast | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 149 mi east-northeast | 18,000 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.
