Which radars cover Gamaliel?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 51 miles west-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 Gamaliel	View
KOHX Nashville, TN	51 mi west-southwest	3,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	83 mi west	7,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KLVX Louisville, KY	93 mi north	8,600 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.
