Which radars cover Inglis?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTBW (Tampa, FL), about 93 miles south. 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 Inglis | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTBW Tampa, FL | 93 mi south | 8,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 116 mi north-northeast | 12,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 130 mi north | 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.
