Which radars cover Greeleyville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCAE (Columbia, SC), about 70 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 Greeleyville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCAE Columbia, SC | 70 mi west-northwest | 5,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KCLX Charleston, SC | 88 mi southwest | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLTX Wilmington, NC | 94 mi east-northeast | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
