Which radars cover Graceville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEOX (Fort Rucker, AL), about 35 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 Graceville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEOX Fort Rucker, AL | 35 mi north | 2,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KEVX Eglin AFB, FL | 37 mi southwest | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 80 mi east-southeast | 6,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
