Which radars cover Crump?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 87 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 Crump | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 87 mi west | 7,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 92 mi south | 8,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 120 mi north-northeast | 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.
