Which radars cover Moselle?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 67 miles 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 Moselle | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 67 mi northwest | 5,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMOB Mobile, AL | 84 mi southeast | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLIX New Orleans, LA | 87 mi south-southwest | 7,800 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.
