Which radars cover McComb?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 101 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 McComb | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 101 mi west | 9,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 102 mi east-northeast | 10,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 111 mi north | 11,300 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.
