Which radars cover Nobleton?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTBW (Tampa, FL), about 66 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 Nobleton | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTBW Tampa, FL | 66 mi south | 5,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMLB Melbourne, FL | 104 mi east-southeast | 10,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 132 mi north-northeast | 14,700 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.
