Which radars cover Hollow Rock?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHPX (Fort Campbell, KY), about 73 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 Hollow Rock | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 73 mi northeast | 6,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 77 mi north-northwest | 6,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 96 mi east | 9,100 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.
