Which radars cover Antioch?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMXX (Maxwell AFB, AL), about 44 miles west-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 Antioch | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL | 44 mi west-southwest | 3,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 55 mi north-northeast | 4,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KEOX Fort Rucker, AL | 88 mi south-southwest | 7,900 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.
