Which radars cover Navarre?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEVX (Eglin AFB, FL), about 58 miles east. 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 Navarre | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEVX Eglin AFB, FL | 58 mi east | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMOB Mobile, AL | 82 mi west-northwest | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KEOX Fort Rucker, AL | 111 mi northeast | 11,300 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.
