Which radars cover Proctorville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLTX (Wilmington, NC), about 48 miles 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 Proctorville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLTX Wilmington, NC | 48 mi southeast | 3,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KRAX Raleigh/Durham, NC | 88 mi north-northeast | 7,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCAE Columbia, SC | 124 mi west-southwest | 13,500 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.
