Which radars cover Palm Coast?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJAX (Jacksonville, FL), about 71 miles north-northwest. 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 Palm Coast	View
KJAX Jacksonville, FL	71 mi north-northwest	5,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMLB Melbourne, FL	105 mi south-southeast	10,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	141 mi northwest	16,400 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.
