Which radars cover Linden?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHPX (Fort Campbell, KY), about 84 miles north-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 Linden | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 84 mi north-northeast | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 84 mi east-northeast | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 110 mi east-southeast | 11,100 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.
