Which radars cover Lucasville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 58 miles 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 Lucasville	View
KILN Wilmington, OH	58 mi northwest	4,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KRLX Charleston, WV	79 mi east-southeast	6,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJKL Jackson, KY	90 mi south-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.
