Which radars cover Wadesville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVWX (Evansville, IN), about 11 miles north-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 Wadesville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 11 mi north-northeast | 600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 90 mi southwest | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 98 mi south-southeast | 9,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
