How well can the network see Jackson?
The nearest Doppler radar is KHDC (Hammond, LA), 52 miles to the ESE. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Jackson its center is about 3,800 ft above ground. That is comfortably inside the useful range. The lowest scan passes low enough over Jackson to show rotation in the part of a storm where tornadoes actually form.
The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KHZR · New Roads/False River Rgnl on the ASOS/AWOS network, 18 miles away. Far enough that "current conditions" for Jackson is an educated reading of somewhere else, worth knowing before you plan around a single temperature.
Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the center of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it. Radar siting from the NWS WSR-88D network, station positions from the Louisiana observing network as of this build.
