Which radars cover Dooling?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 46 miles northeast. 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 Dooling | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 46 mi northeast | 3,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 87 mi north-northwest | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KEOX Fort Rucker, AL | 104 mi west-southwest | 10,300 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.
