Which radars cover Pleasureville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLVX (Louisville, KY), about 52 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 Pleasureville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 52 mi west-southwest | 3,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 101 mi northeast | 9,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KJKL Jackson, KY | 111 mi east-southeast | 11,300 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.
