Which radars cover Pulaski?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLX (Charleston, SC), about 56 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 Pulaski	View
KCLX Charleston, SC	56 mi east-northeast	4,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	84 mi west-northwest	7,400 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KCAE Columbia, SC	118 mi north-northeast	12,400 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.
