Which radars cover Finger?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 71 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 Finger	View
KNQA Memphis, TN	71 mi west	5,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KGWX Columbus AFB, MS	102 mi south	9,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KPAH Paducah, KY	119 mi north	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.
