Which radars cover Centerville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 57 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 Centerville	View
KOHX Nashville, TN	57 mi east-northeast	4,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	64 mi north	4,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KHTX Huntsville, AL	98 mi southeast	9,400 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.
