Which radars cover New Harmony?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVWX (Evansville, IN), about 14 miles northeast. 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 New Harmony | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 14 mi northeast | 800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 87 mi south-southwest | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 102 mi south-southeast | 10,000 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.
