Which radars cover Worthington Springs?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJAX (Jacksonville, FL), about 57 miles northeast. 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 Worthington Springs	View
KJAX Jacksonville, FL	57 mi northeast	4,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	75 mi north-northwest	6,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTLH Tallahassee, FL	119 mi west-northwest	12,600 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.
