Which radars cover Blanche?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHTX (Huntsville, AL), about 39 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 Blanche | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 39 mi east-southeast | 2,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 84 mi north | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGWX Columbus AFB, MS | 120 mi southwest | 12,700 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.
