Which radars cover Greensburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLVX (Louisville, KY), about 55 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 Greensburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 55 mi north-northwest | 4,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 92 mi southwest | 8,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 105 mi west-southwest | 10,400 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.
