Which radars cover Hardyville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLVX (Louisville, KY), about 50 miles north. 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 Hardyville	View
KLVX Louisville, KY	50 mi north	3,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KOHX Nashville, TN	82 mi south-southwest	7,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	90 mi west-southwest	8,200 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.
