Which radars cover Belmont?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGWX (Columbus AFB, MS), about 43 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 Belmont	View
KGWX Columbus AFB, MS	43 mi south	2,900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KNQA Memphis, TN	111 mi west-northwest	11,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBMX Birmingham, AL	124 mi southeast	13,300 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.
