Which radars cover Fort Stewart?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLX (Charleston, SC), about 63 miles north-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 Fort Stewart | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLX Charleston, SC | 63 mi north-northeast | 4,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 97 mi south | 9,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 107 mi southwest | 10,600 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.
