Which radars cover Wallburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFCX (Blacksburg, VA), about 70 miles north. 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 Wallburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFCX Blacksburg, VA | 70 mi north | 5,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KRAX Raleigh/Durham, NC | 97 mi east-southeast | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGSP Greer, SC | 139 mi west-southwest | 16,200 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.
