Which radars cover Vevay?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLVX (Louisville, KY), about 71 miles 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 Vevay | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 71 mi southwest | 5,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
