Which radars cover Nellieburg?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 71 miles west. 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 Nellieburg	View
KDGX Jackson, MS	71 mi west	5,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KGWX Columbus AFB, MS	107 mi north-northeast	10,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMOB Mobile, AL	123 mi south-southeast	13,200 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.
