Which radars cover Connerton?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTBW (Tampa, FL), about 42 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 Connerton	View
KTBW Tampa, FL	42 mi south	2,800 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KMLB Melbourne, FL	111 mi east	11,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KJAX Jacksonville, FL	157 mi north-northeast	19,600 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.
