Which radars cover Lamont?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLH (Tallahassee, FL), about 31 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 Lamont	View
KTLH Tallahassee, FL	31 mi west	1,900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	60 mi northeast	4,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KEOX Fort Rucker, AL	123 mi northwest	13,200 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.
