Which radars cover Centreville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHDC (Hammond, LA), about 55 miles 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 Centreville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHDC Hammond, LA | 55 mi southeast | 4,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLIX New Orleans, LA | 90 mi southeast | 8,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 104 mi northeast | 10,200 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.
