Which radars cover Doddsville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 100 miles south-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 Doddsville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 100 mi south-southeast | 9,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 122 mi north-northeast | 13,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 127 mi east | 13,900 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.
