Which radars cover D'Lo?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 21 miles north-northwest. 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 D'Lo | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 21 mi north-northwest | 1,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KHDC Hammond, LA | 106 mi south-southwest | 10,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLIX New Orleans, LA | 114 mi south | 11,800 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.
