Which radars cover Indian Springs?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHTX (Huntsville, AL), about 52 miles west. 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 Indian Springs | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 52 mi west | 3,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 115 mi south-southeast | 12,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 119 mi northwest | 12,500 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.
