Which radars cover Marrowbone?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 72 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 Marrowbone | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 72 mi southwest | 5,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 82 mi north-northwest | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 99 mi west | 9,400 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.
