Which radars cover Duck Hill?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGWX (Columbus AFB, MS), about 82 miles east-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 Duck Hill | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 82 mi east-northeast | 7,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 95 mi south | 8,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 119 mi north | 12,500 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.
