Which radars cover Mauldin?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGSP (Greer, SC), about 9 miles 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 Mauldin | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGSP Greer, SC | 9 mi northeast | 400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KCAE Columbia, SC | 89 mi southeast | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMRX Knoxville, TN | 114 mi north-northwest | 11,800 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.
