Which radars cover Woodbury?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDIX (Philadelphia, NJ), about 40 miles east. 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 Woodbury | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 40 mi east | 2,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 72 mi south-southwest | 5,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 138 mi west-southwest | 15,900 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.
