Which radars cover Stockdale?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 61 miles west-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 Stockdale | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 61 mi west-northwest | 4,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KRLX Charleston, WV | 76 mi southeast | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
