Which radars cover Yuma?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHPX (Fort Campbell, KY), about 85 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 Yuma | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHPX Fort Campbell, KY | 85 mi northeast | 7,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPAH Paducah, KY | 88 mi north-northwest | 7,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KNQA Memphis, TN | 93 mi west-southwest | 8,600 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.
