Which radars cover Beverly Hills?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTBW (Tampa, FL), about 84 miles south. 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 Beverly Hills | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTBW Tampa, FL | 84 mi south | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 117 mi north-northeast | 12,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMLB Melbourne, FL | 123 mi east-southeast | 13,200 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.
