Which radars cover Greenfield?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPAH (Paducah, KY), about 62 miles north. 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 Greenfield | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 62 mi north | 4,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 82 mi southwest | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 93 mi east-northeast | 8,700 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.
