Which radars cover Peachland?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCAE (Columbia, SC), about 87 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 Peachland | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCAE Columbia, SC | 87 mi southwest | 7,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRAX Raleigh/Durham, NC | 110 mi east-northeast | 11,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGSP Greer, SC | 111 mi west | 11,300 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.
