Which radars cover Evans?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCAE (Columbia, SC), about 64 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 Evans	View
KCAE Columbia, SC	64 mi east-northeast	5,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCLX Charleston, SC	90 mi southeast	8,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGSP Greer, SC	91 mi north	8,300 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.
