Which radars cover Glen St. Mary?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJAX (Jacksonville, FL), about 31 miles east-northeast. 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 Glen St. Mary	View
KJAX Jacksonville, FL	31 mi east-northeast	1,900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	66 mi northwest	5,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KTLH Tallahassee, FL	130 mi west	14,400 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.
