Which radars cover Jeffersonville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVWX (Evansville, IN), about 39 miles east-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 Jeffersonville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 39 mi east-southeast | 2,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 97 mi south-southwest | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 124 mi west | 13,500 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.
