Which radars cover Mount Pleasant?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 60 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 Mount Pleasant | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 60 mi northeast | 4,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 75 mi southeast | 6,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 82 mi north | 7,200 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.
