Which radars cover Pachuta?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 66 miles west-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 Pachuta	View
KDGX Jackson, MS	66 mi west-northwest	5,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMOB Mobile, AL	102 mi south-southeast	9,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KLIX New Orleans, LA	130 mi south-southwest	14,500 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.
