Which radars cover Hephzibah?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCAE (Columbia, SC), about 72 miles 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 Hephzibah	View
KCAE Columbia, SC	72 mi northeast	5,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCLX Charleston, SC	75 mi southeast	6,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	84 mi west-southwest	7,400 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.
