Which radars cover Tucker?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDGX (Jackson, MS), about 62 miles west-southwest. 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 Tucker	View
KDGX Jackson, MS	62 mi west-southwest	4,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KGWX Columbus AFB, MS	92 mi north-northeast	8,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KBMX Birmingham, AL	136 mi east-northeast	15,500 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.
