Which radars cover Holiday City-Berkeley?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDIX (Philadelphia, NJ), about 7 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 Holiday City-Berkeley | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 7 mi west | 300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
