Which radars cover Michie?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGWX (Columbus AFB, MS), about 81 miles south. 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 Michie	View
KGWX Columbus AFB, MS	81 mi south	7,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KNQA Memphis, TN	84 mi west-northwest	7,400 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	132 mi north-northeast	14,800 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.
