Which radars cover Woodland?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCBW (Caribou, ME), about 64 miles north-northwest. 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 Woodland | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCBW Caribou, ME | 64 mi north-northwest | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KGYX Portland, ME | 165 mi west-southwest | 21,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 286 mi west | 53,900 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.
