Which radars cover Holly Springs?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 46 miles north-northwest. 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 Holly Springs | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 46 mi north-northwest | 3,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 88 mi southeast | 7,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLZK Little Rock, AR | 160 mi west | 20,100 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.
