Which radars cover Eddyville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPAH (Paducah, KY), about 32 miles south-southwest. 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 Eddyville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 32 mi south-southwest | 2,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 70 mi northeast | 5,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 89 mi southeast | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
