Which radars cover Livingston?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 70 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 Livingston | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 70 mi west | 5,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMRX Knoxville, TN | 108 mi east | 10,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 109 mi south-southwest | 11,000 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.
