Which radars cover Uriah?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMOB (Mobile, AL), about 62 miles 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 Uriah | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMOB Mobile, AL | 62 mi southwest | 4,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KEVX Eglin AFB, FL | 107 mi east-southeast | 10,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KEOX Fort Rucker, AL | 121 mi east | 12,900 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.
