Which radars cover Tremont?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGWX (Columbus AFB, MS), about 24 miles south. 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 Tremont | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 24 mi south | 1,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBMX Birmingham, AL | 112 mi southeast | 11,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 120 mi northwest | 12,700 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.
