Which radars cover Dublin?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 26 miles west-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 Dublin | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 26 mi west-northwest | 1,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KCLX Charleston, SC | 110 mi east | 11,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 111 mi west-northwest | 11,200 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.
