Which radars cover Potters Hill?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMHX (Morehead City, NC), about 49 miles east-southeast. 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 Potters Hill	View
KMHX Morehead City, NC	49 mi east-southeast	3,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KRAX Raleigh/Durham, NC	66 mi northwest	5,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KLTX Wilmington, NC	79 mi south-southwest	6,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
