Which radars cover Savageville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDOX (Dover AFB, DE), about 81 miles north-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 Savageville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 81 mi north-northeast | 7,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KAKQ Wakefield, VA | 84 mi southwest | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 129 mi northwest | 14,300 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.
