Which radars cover Williamsburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 28 miles north-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 Williamsburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 28 mi north-northeast | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJKL Jackson, KY | 109 mi south-southeast | 11,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 127 mi southwest | 13,900 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.
