Which radars cover Troy?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLVX (Louisville, KY), about 47 miles east. 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 Troy	View
KLVX Louisville, KY	47 mi east	3,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KVWX Evansville, IN	53 mi west-northwest	3,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	91 mi south-southwest	8,400 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.
