Which radars cover Port St. Lucie?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMLB (Melbourne, FL), about 60 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 Port St. Lucie	View
KMLB Melbourne, FL	60 mi north-northwest	4,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KAMX Miami, FL	115 mi south	12,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KTBW Tampa, FL	127 mi west-northwest	13,900 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.
