Which radars cover Neelyville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 91 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 Neelyville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 91 mi south-southeast | 8,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 103 mi east-northeast | 10,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 148 mi north | 17,800 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.
