Which radars cover Jobstown?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDIX (Philadelphia, NJ), about 16 miles east-southeast. 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 Jobstown | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 16 mi east-southeast | 900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 92 mi south-southwest | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOKX Upton, NY | 112 mi east-northeast | 11,500 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.
