Which radars cover Newport?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDOX (Dover AFB, DE), about 35 miles south-southwest. 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 Newport | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 35 mi south-southwest | 2,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 61 mi northeast | 4,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 126 mi west | 13,800 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.
