Which radars cover Geneva?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMLB (Melbourne, FL), about 51 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 Geneva | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMLB Melbourne, FL | 51 mi south-southeast | 3,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KTBW Tampa, FL | 106 mi southwest | 10,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 126 mi north-northwest | 13,700 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.
