Which radars cover Tylertown?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHDC (Hammond, LA), about 44 miles south-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 Tylertown	View
KHDC Hammond, LA	44 mi south-southwest	3,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KLIX New Orleans, LA	57 mi south-southeast	4,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KDGX Jackson, MS	81 mi north	7,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
