Which radars cover Oliver?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLX (Charleston, SC), about 30 miles east-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 Oliver	View
KCLX Charleston, SC	30 mi east-northeast	1,800 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KCAE Columbia, SC	101 mi north-northeast	9,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	106 mi west	10,500 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.
