Which radars cover Belle Meade?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 19 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 Belle Meade | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 19 mi east-northeast | 1,100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 50 mi north-northwest | 3,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 92 mi south-southeast | 8,400 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.
