Which radars cover Hornersville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 50 miles south-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 Hornersville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 50 mi south-southeast | 3,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 103 mi northeast | 10,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 147 mi southwest | 17,500 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.
