Which radars cover Pheba?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGWX (Columbus AFB, MS), about 42 miles east-northeast. 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 Pheba	View
KGWX Columbus AFB, MS	42 mi east-northeast	2,800 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KDGX Jackson, MS	108 mi southwest	10,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBMX Birmingham, AL	129 mi east-southeast	14,300 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.
