Which radars cover Brooklet?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLX (Charleston, SC), about 41 miles east-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 Brooklet | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLX Charleston, SC | 41 mi east-northeast | 2,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 100 mi west-northwest | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCAE Columbia, SC | 112 mi north-northeast | 11,500 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.
