Which radars cover Grace?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 75 miles 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 Grace | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 75 mi southeast | 6,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 148 mi north-northwest | 17,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 164 mi east-northeast | 21,000 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.
