Which radars cover Oak Hill?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 18 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 Oak Hill | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 18 mi northeast | 1,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 54 mi north-northwest | 3,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 88 mi south-southeast | 7,900 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.
