Which radars cover Naples?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KAMX (Miami, FL), about 94 miles east-southeast. 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 Naples	View
KAMX Miami, FL	94 mi east-southeast	8,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KBYX Key West, FL	108 mi south	10,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KTBW Tampa, FL	114 mi north-northwest	11,700 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.
