Which radars cover Bergoo?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRLX (Charleston, WV), about 78 miles west. 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 Bergoo | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRLX Charleston, WV | 78 mi west | 6,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFCX Blacksburg, VA | 101 mi south | 9,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 142 mi north | 16,600 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.
