Which radars cover Learned?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 33 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 Learned	View
KDGX Jackson, MS	33 mi east	2,100 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KHDC Hammond, LA	116 mi south	12,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KLIX New Orleans, LA	135 mi south-southeast	15,400 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.
