Which radars cover Goodlettsville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 10 miles 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 Goodlettsville	View
KOHX Nashville, TN	10 mi southeast	500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	43 mi northwest	2,900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KHTX Huntsville, AL	103 mi south-southeast	10,000 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.
