Which radars cover Perryman?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDOX (Dover AFB, DE), about 61 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 Perryman | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 61 mi southeast | 4,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 76 mi west-southwest | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 102 mi east-northeast | 9,800 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.
