Which radars cover Annville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJKL (Jackson, KY), about 40 miles east-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 Annville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJKL Jackson, KY | 40 mi east-northeast | 2,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMRX Knoxville, TN | 86 mi south-southeast | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 117 mi west-northwest | 12,300 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.
