Which radars cover Aragon?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 55 miles south-southeast. 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 Aragon	View
KFFC Atlanta, GA	55 mi south-southeast	4,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KHTX Huntsville, AL	85 mi northwest	7,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL	113 mi south-southwest	11,500 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.
