Which radars cover Dunmor?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHPX (Fort Campbell, KY), about 29 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 Dunmor | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 29 mi southwest | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 62 mi south-southeast | 4,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 84 mi northeast | 7,400 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.
