Which radars cover Hiltonia?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLX (Charleston, SC), about 39 miles east-southeast. 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 Hiltonia	View
KCLX Charleston, SC	39 mi east-southeast	2,600 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KCAE Columbia, SC	80 mi north-northeast	6,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	99 mi west	9,500 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.
