Which radars cover Millboro?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFCX (Blacksburg, VA), about 76 miles south-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 Millboro | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFCX Blacksburg, VA | 76 mi south-southwest | 6,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRLX Charleston, WV | 118 mi west-northwest | 12,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 134 mi east-northeast | 15,100 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.
