Which radars cover Mooreville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGWX (Columbus AFB, MS), about 29 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 Mooreville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 29 mi south-southeast | 1,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 105 mi northwest | 10,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBMX Birmingham, AL | 128 mi southeast | 14,200 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.
