Which radars cover Waynesboro?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOHX (Nashville, TN), about 93 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 Waynesboro | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOHX Nashville, TN | 93 mi northeast | 8,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
