Which radars cover Jacksboro?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMRX (Knoxville, TN), about 46 miles east-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 Jacksboro	View
KMRX Knoxville, TN	46 mi east-southeast	3,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KJKL Jackson, KY	99 mi north-northeast	9,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KOHX Nashville, TN	132 mi west	14,800 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.
