Which radars cover Stonewall?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 70 miles west. 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 Stonewall | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDGX Jackson, MS | 70 mi west | 5,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMOB Mobile, AL | 106 mi south-southeast | 10,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 125 mi north-northeast | 13,500 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.
