Which radars cover Itmann?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRLX (Charleston, WV), about 54 miles north-northwest. 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 Itmann | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRLX Charleston, WV | 54 mi north-northwest | 3,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFCX Blacksburg, VA | 73 mi east-southeast | 6,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KJKL Jackson, KY | 104 mi west | 10,200 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.
