Which radars cover Andalusia?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDIX (Philadelphia, NJ), about 31 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 Andalusia | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 31 mi east-southeast | 1,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 89 mi south-southwest | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOKX Upton, NY | 124 mi east-northeast | 13,400 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.
