Which radars cover Crown City?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRLX (Charleston, WV), about 37 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 Crown City | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRLX Charleston, WV | 37 mi east-southeast | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJKL Jackson, KY | 88 mi southwest | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 100 mi northwest | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
