Which radars cover Englewood?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMRX (Knoxville, TN), about 80 miles 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 Englewood | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMRX Knoxville, TN | 80 mi northeast | 6,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 96 mi west-southwest | 9,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 129 mi west-northwest | 14,300 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.
