Which radars cover Walstonburg?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRAX (Raleigh/Durham, NC), about 45 miles west. 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 Walstonburg	View
KRAX Raleigh/Durham, NC	45 mi west	3,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMHX Morehead City, NC	73 mi southeast	6,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KAKQ Wakefield, VA	103 mi north-northeast	10,100 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.
