Which radars cover Trimble?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPAH (Paducah, KY), about 64 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 Trimble	View
KPAH Paducah, KY	64 mi north-northeast	5,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KNQA Memphis, TN	71 mi south-southwest	5,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KHPX Fort Campbell, KY	112 mi east-northeast	11,400 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.
