Which radars cover Aucilla?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLH (Tallahassee, FL), about 34 miles west. 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 Aucilla | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 34 mi west | 2,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 53 mi east-northeast | 3,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KEOX Fort Rucker, AL | 121 mi northwest | 13,000 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.
