Which radars cover New Hebron?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 38 miles north. 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 New Hebron | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 38 mi north | 2,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KHDC Hammond, LA | 88 mi south-southwest | 7,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLIX New Orleans, LA | 97 mi south | 9,200 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.
