Which radars cover Knoxville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 76 miles east-northeast. 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 Knoxville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 76 mi east-northeast | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCCX State College, PA | 77 mi south-southwest | 6,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 95 mi northwest | 8,900 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.
