Which radars cover Asbury Lake?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJAX (Jacksonville, FL), about 31 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 Asbury Lake | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 31 mi north | 1,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 93 mi northwest | 8,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMLB Melbourne, FL | 150 mi south-southeast | 18,200 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.
