Which radars cover Norene?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 22 miles northwest. 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 Norene | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 22 mi northwest | 1,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 75 mi northwest | 6,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 78 mi south | 6,600 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.
