Which radars cover Yeehaw Junction?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMLB (Melbourne, FL), about 32 miles north-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 Yeehaw Junction | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMLB Melbourne, FL | 32 mi north-northeast | 2,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KTBW Tampa, FL | 93 mi west | 8,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KAMX Miami, FL | 147 mi south-southeast | 17,700 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.
