Which radars cover Pine Manor?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTBW (Tampa, FL), about 85 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 Pine Manor | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTBW Tampa, FL | 85 mi north-northwest | 7,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KAMX Miami, FL | 113 mi southeast | 11,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMLB Melbourne, FL | 130 mi northeast | 14,500 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.
