Which radars cover Coronaca?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGSP (Greer, SC), about 44 miles north. 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 Coronaca	View
KGSP Greer, SC	44 mi north	3,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCAE Columbia, SC	60 mi east-southeast	4,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCLX Charleston, SC	126 mi south-southeast	13,800 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.
