Which radars cover Sevierville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMRX (Knoxville, TN), about 22 miles north-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 Sevierville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMRX Knoxville, TN | 22 mi north-northeast | 1,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
