Which radars cover Brentwood?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 21 miles north-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 Brentwood | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 21 mi north-northeast | 1,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 59 mi north-northwest | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 83 mi south-southeast | 7,300 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.
