Which radars cover Campbell Hill?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPAH (Paducah, KY), about 73 miles 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 Campbell Hill | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 73 mi southeast | 6,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
