Which radars cover Jennings?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVAX (Moody AFB, GA), about 21 miles north-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 Jennings	View
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	21 mi north-northeast	1,200 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KTLH Tallahassee, FL	74 mi west	6,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJAX Jacksonville, FL	84 mi east	7,400 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.
