Which radars cover Argyle?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVAX (Moody AFB, GA), about 24 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 Argyle | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 24 mi west-southwest | 1,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 69 mi southeast | 5,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 110 mi west-southwest | 11,100 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.
