Which radars cover Samburg?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPAH (Paducah, KY), about 57 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 Samburg	View
KPAH Paducah, KY	57 mi northeast	4,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KNQA Memphis, TN	77 mi south-southwest	6,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	117 mi east-northeast	12,300 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.
