Which radars cover Dyersburg?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 56 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 Dyersburg	View
KNQA Memphis, TN	56 mi south-southwest	4,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KPAH Paducah, KY	78 mi north-northeast	6,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	126 mi east-northeast	13,700 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.
