Which radars cover Westville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEVX (Eglin AFB, FL), about 15 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 Westville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEVX Eglin AFB, FL | 15 mi south-southwest | 800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KEOX Fort Rucker, AL | 53 mi north-northeast | 3,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 93 mi east-southeast | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
