Which radars cover Coahoma?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 77 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 Coahoma	View
KNQA Memphis, TN	77 mi north-northeast	6,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KLZK Little Rock, AR	104 mi west-northwest	10,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGWX Columbus AFB, MS	130 mi east-southeast	14,400 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.
