Which radars cover Glendora?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 108 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 Glendora | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 108 mi north-northeast | 10,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |

| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 113 mi east | 11,600 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.
