Which radars cover Pinehurst?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 41 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 Pinehurst	View
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	41 mi northeast	2,700 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KFFC Atlanta, GA	93 mi north-northwest	8,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	101 mi south-southeast	9,700 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.
