Which radars cover Victory Lakes?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDIX (Philadelphia, NJ), about 37 miles northeast. 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 Victory Lakes | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 37 mi northeast | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 61 mi south-southwest | 4,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KOKX Upton, NY | 140 mi northeast | 16,300 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.
