Which radars cover Bogart?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 72 miles 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 Bogart | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 72 mi southwest | 5,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 89 mi south | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGSP Greer, SC | 99 mi northeast | 9,500 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.
