Which radars cover Beverly?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRLX (Charleston, WV), about 107 miles west-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 Beverly | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRLX Charleston, WV | 107 mi west-southwest | 10,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |

| KFCX Blacksburg, VA | 128 mi south | 14,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
