Which radars cover Masaryktown?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTBW (Tampa, FL), about 51 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 Masaryktown	View
KTBW Tampa, FL	51 mi south	3,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMLB Melbourne, FL	112 mi east	11,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KJAX Jacksonville, FL	148 mi north-northeast	17,800 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.
