Which radars cover Lyles?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 49 miles east-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 Lyles | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 49 mi east-northeast | 3,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 57 mi north | 4,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 99 mi southeast | 9,400 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.
