Which radars cover Ezel?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJKL (Jackson, KY), about 22 miles south-southeast. 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 Ezel	View
KJKL Jackson, KY	22 mi south-southeast	1,300 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KRLX Charleston, WV	98 mi east-northeast	9,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KILN Wilmington, OH	108 mi north	10,700 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.
