Which radars cover Winfield?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMRX (Knoxville, TN), about 64 miles east-southeast. 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 Winfield | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMRX Knoxville, TN | 64 mi east-southeast | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KJKL Jackson, KY | 95 mi northeast | 8,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 120 mi west | 12,700 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.
