Which radars cover Webb?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEOX (Fort Rucker, AL), about 17 miles 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 Webb | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEOX Fort Rucker, AL | 17 mi northwest | 900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KEVX Eglin AFB, FL | 61 mi southwest | 4,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 82 mi southeast | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
