Which radars cover Liberty?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHDC (Hammond, LA), about 50 miles south-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 Liberty	View
KHDC Hammond, LA	50 mi south-southeast	3,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KLIX New Orleans, LA	81 mi southeast	7,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KDGX Jackson, MS	91 mi north-northeast	8,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
