Which radars cover Chauncey?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 42 miles north-northwest. 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 Chauncey	View
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	42 mi north-northwest	2,800 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	85 mi south	7,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KFFC Atlanta, GA	123 mi northwest	13,200 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.
