Which radars cover Agricola?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMOB (Mobile, AL), about 19 miles east-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 Agricola | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMOB Mobile, AL | 19 mi east-southeast | 1,100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KLIX New Orleans, LA | 84 mi west-southwest | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHDC Hammond, LA | 114 mi west | 11,700 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.
