Which radars cover Senatobia?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 51 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 Senatobia	View
KNQA Memphis, TN	51 mi north	3,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KGWX Columbus AFB, MS	106 mi east-southeast	10,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KLZK Little Rock, AR	131 mi west	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.
