Which radars cover Fellsmere?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMLB (Melbourne, FL), about 27 miles north. 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 Fellsmere	View
KMLB Melbourne, FL	27 mi north	1,600 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KTBW Tampa, FL	110 mi west	11,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KAMX Miami, FL	146 mi south	17,400 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.
