Which radars cover Weogufka?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBMX (Birmingham, AL), about 29 miles west-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 Weogufka | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBMX Birmingham, AL | 29 mi west-northwest | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |

| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 104 mi east-northeast | 10,100 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.
