Which radars cover Hermanville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 55 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 Hermanville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 55 mi east-northeast | 4,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHDC Hammond, LA | 103 mi south-southeast | 10,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLIX New Orleans, LA | 127 mi south-southeast | 13,900 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.
