Which radars cover Billingsley?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBMX (Birmingham, AL), about 35 miles north. 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 Billingsley	View
KBMX Birmingham, AL	35 mi north	2,200 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL	54 mi east	4,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KEOX Fort Rucker, AL	111 mi southeast	11,200 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.
