Which radars cover DeLand?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMLB (Melbourne, FL), about 74 miles south-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 DeLand	View
KMLB Melbourne, FL	74 mi south-southeast	6,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJAX Jacksonville, FL	104 mi north-northwest	10,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KTBW Tampa, FL	114 mi southwest	11,700 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.
