Which radars cover Oviedo?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMLB (Melbourne, FL), about 50 miles 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 Oviedo | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMLB Melbourne, FL | 50 mi southeast | 3,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KTBW Tampa, FL | 99 mi southwest | 9,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 130 mi north-northwest | 14,400 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.
