Which radars cover Miccosukee?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTLH (Tallahassee, FL), about 22 miles southwest. 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 Miccosukee | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 22 mi southwest | 1,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 65 mi east-northeast | 5,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KEOX Fort Rucker, AL | 103 mi northwest | 10,000 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.
