Which radars cover Momeyer?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRAX (Raleigh/Durham, NC), about 32 miles southwest. 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 Momeyer	View
KRAX Raleigh/Durham, NC	32 mi southwest	2,000 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KAKQ Wakefield, VA	91 mi northeast	8,400 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMHX Morehead City, NC	105 mi southeast	10,400 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.
