How well can the network see Austin?
The nearest Doppler radar is KLVX (Louisville, KY), 53 miles to the S. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Austin its center is about 3,900 ft above ground. That is comfortably inside the useful range. The lowest scan passes low enough over Austin to show rotation in the part of a storm where tornadoes actually form.
The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KIMS · Madison Muni on the ASOS/AWOS network, 18 miles away. Far enough that "current conditions" for Austin is an educated reading of somewhere else, worth knowing before you plan around a single temperature.
Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the center of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it. Radar siting from the NWS WSR-88D network, station positions from the Indiana observing network as of this build.
