Which radars cover Clarksville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHPX (Fort Campbell, KY), about 12 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 Clarksville	View
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	12 mi north-northeast	600 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KOHX Nashville, TN	49 mi east-southeast	3,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KPAH Paducah, KY	86 mi west-northwest	7,700 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.
