Which radars cover Douglasville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 27 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 Douglasville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 27 mi south-southeast | 1,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL | 104 mi southwest | 10,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 107 mi southeast | 10,700 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.
