Which radars cover Curdsville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVWX (Evansville, IN), about 42 miles north-northwest. 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 Curdsville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 42 mi north-northwest | 2,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |

| KLVX Louisville, KY | 78 mi east-northeast | 6,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
