Which radars cover Felton?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLWX (Sterling, MD), about 78 miles southwest. 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 Felton | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 78 mi southwest | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 93 mi southeast | 8,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCCX State College, PA | 106 mi northwest | 10,500 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.
