Which radars cover Marshallberg?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMHX (Morehead City, NC), about 21 miles west. 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 Marshallberg	View
KMHX Morehead City, NC	21 mi west	1,200 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KLTX Wilmington, NC	121 mi west-southwest	12,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KRAX Raleigh/Durham, NC	129 mi west-northwest	14,300 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.
