Which radars cover New Market?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMRX (Knoxville, TN), about 10 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 New Market | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMRX Knoxville, TN | 10 mi east-northeast | 500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJKL Jackson, KY | 104 mi north | 10,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGSP Greer, SC | 113 mi southeast | 11,500 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.
