Which radars cover Corinth?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 76 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 Corinth | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 76 mi north-northeast | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 81 mi west-southwest | 7,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KJKL Jackson, KY | 94 mi southeast | 8,800 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.
