Which radars cover Trilby?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTBW (Tampa, FL), about 53 miles south-southwest. 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 Trilby	View
KTBW Tampa, FL	53 mi south-southwest	3,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMLB Melbourne, FL	97 mi east-southeast	9,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJAX Jacksonville, FL	143 mi north-northeast	16,900 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.
