Which radars cover Hatley?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGWX (Columbus AFB, MS), about 8 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 Hatley | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 8 mi southeast | 400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBMX Birmingham, AL | 110 mi east-southeast | 11,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 126 mi northwest | 13,700 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.
