Which radars cover Davisboro?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 48 miles west-southwest. 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 Davisboro | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 48 mi west-southwest | 3,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KCLX Charleston, SC | 93 mi east-southeast | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCAE Columbia, SC | 109 mi northeast | 10,900 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.
