Which radars cover Dancyville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 33 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 Dancyville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 33 mi west | 2,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |

| KPAH Paducah, KY | 118 mi north-northeast | 12,500 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.
