Which radars cover Walthourville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLX (Charleston, SC), about 70 miles north-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 Walthourville	View
KCLX Charleston, SC	70 mi north-northeast	5,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KJAX Jacksonville, FL	89 mi south	8,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	102 mi southwest	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.
