Which radars cover Millersville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPAH (Paducah, KY), about 61 miles east-southeast. 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 Millersville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 61 mi east-southeast | 4,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 100 mi north-northwest | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 127 mi east-northeast | 13,800 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.
