Which radars cover Georgetown?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 30 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 Georgetown	View
KDGX Jackson, MS	30 mi north-northeast	1,900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KHDC Hammond, LA	94 mi south	8,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KLIX New Orleans, LA	108 mi south	10,800 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.
