Which radars cover Hoboken?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJAX (Jacksonville, FL), about 54 miles south-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 Hoboken | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 54 mi south-southeast | 4,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 55 mi west-southwest | 4,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KCLX Charleston, SC | 120 mi north-northeast | 12,800 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.
