Which radars cover Campbell?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMLB (Melbourne, FL), about 50 miles east-southeast. 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 Campbell | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMLB Melbourne, FL | 50 mi east-southeast | 3,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |

| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 155 mi north | 19,100 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.
