Which radars cover Greensboro?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLH (Tallahassee, FL), about 26 miles east-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 Greensboro | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 26 mi east-southeast | 1,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KEVX Eglin AFB, FL | 71 mi west | 5,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KEOX Fort Rucker, AL | 75 mi northwest | 6,300 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.
