Which radars cover Yankeetown?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTBW (Tampa, FL), about 94 miles south-southeast. 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 Yankeetown	View
KTBW Tampa, FL	94 mi south-southeast	8,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJAX Jacksonville, FL	119 mi north-northeast	12,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	129 mi north	14,300 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.
