Which radars cover Beauregard?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 46 miles north-northeast. 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 Beauregard | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 46 mi north-northeast | 3,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHDC Hammond, LA | 83 mi south | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLIX New Orleans, LA | 101 mi south-southeast | 9,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
