Which radars cover Millry?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMOB (Mobile, AL), about 65 miles south. 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 Millry | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMOB Mobile, AL | 65 mi south | 5,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
