Which radars cover Hurley?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMOB (Mobile, AL), about 15 miles east. 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 Hurley	View
KMOB Mobile, AL	15 mi east	800 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KLIX New Orleans, LA	82 mi west-southwest	7,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KHDC Hammond, LA	114 mi west	11,700 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.
