Which radars cover Chandler?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVWX (Evansville, IN), about 24 miles northwest. 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 Chandler | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 24 mi northwest | 1,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 78 mi east | 6,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 90 mi south | 8,200 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.
