Which radars cover Parker's Crossroads?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNQA (Memphis, TN), about 89 miles west-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 Parker's Crossroads	View
KNQA Memphis, TN	89 mi west-southwest	8,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	90 mi northeast	8,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KPAH Paducah, KY	91 mi north-northwest	8,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
