Which radars cover Walls?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 33 miles north-northeast. 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 Walls	View
KNQA Memphis, TN	33 mi north-northeast	2,100 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KLZK Little Rock, AR	119 mi west	12,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGWX Columbus AFB, MS	127 mi east-southeast	13,900 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.
