Which radars cover Peebles?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 39 miles northwest. 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 Peebles | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 39 mi northwest | 2,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |

| KRLX Charleston, WV | 101 mi east-southeast | 9,800 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.
