Which radars cover Greenville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLH (Tallahassee, FL), about 42 miles west. 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 Greenville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 42 mi west | 2,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 48 mi northeast | 3,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 115 mi east | 11,900 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.
