Which radars cover Hilham?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 63 miles west. 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 Hilham | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 63 mi west | 4,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 105 mi west-northwest | 10,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 108 mi south-southwest | 10,900 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.
