Which radars cover Silverstreet?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCAE (Columbia, SC), about 39 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 Silverstreet	View
KCAE Columbia, SC	39 mi east-southeast	2,500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KGSP Greer, SC	54 mi north-northwest	4,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCLX Charleston, SC	115 mi south-southeast	11,900 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.
