Which radars cover Woodville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHTX (Huntsville, AL), about 24 miles north-northeast. 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 Woodville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 24 mi north-northeast | 1,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBMX Birmingham, AL | 105 mi south-southwest | 10,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 113 mi north | 11,600 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.
