Which radars cover Deltaville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KAKQ (Wakefield, VA), about 54 miles southwest. 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 Deltaville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KAKQ Wakefield, VA | 54 mi southwest | 4,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 100 mi north-northeast | 9,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 117 mi north-northwest | 12,200 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.
