Which radars cover Bayview?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMHX (Morehead City, NC), about 46 miles south. 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 Bayview	View
KMHX Morehead City, NC	46 mi south	3,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KRAX Raleigh/Durham, NC	97 mi west	9,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KAKQ Wakefield, VA	107 mi north	10,700 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.
