Which radars cover Satartia?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 42 miles southeast. 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 Satartia	View
KDGX Jackson, MS	42 mi southeast	2,900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KHDC Hammond, LA	149 mi south	18,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGWX Columbus AFB, MS	153 mi northeast	18,800 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.
