Which radars cover Crenshaw?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 61 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 Crenshaw | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 61 mi north-northeast | 4,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 115 mi east-southeast | 11,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 120 mi west-northwest | 12,700 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.
