Which radars cover Marydel?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDOX (Dover AFB, DE), about 26 miles southeast. 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 Marydel | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 26 mi southeast | 1,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
