Which radars cover Greenwich?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDOX (Dover AFB, DE), about 39 miles south. 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 Greenwich | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 39 mi south | 2,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 63 mi northeast | 4,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 118 mi west-southwest | 12,400 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.
