Which radars cover Snow Hill?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRAX (Raleigh/Durham, NC), about 48 miles west-northwest. 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 Snow Hill	View
KRAX Raleigh/Durham, NC	48 mi west-northwest	3,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMHX Morehead City, NC	65 mi southeast	5,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KLTX Wilmington, NC	110 mi south-southwest	11,100 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.
