Which radars cover Norwood?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 66 miles southwest. 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 Norwood	View
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	66 mi southwest	5,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCAE Columbia, SC	97 mi east-northeast	9,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGSP Greer, SC	102 mi north-northeast	9,900 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.
