Which radars cover Fargo?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVAX (Moody AFB, GA), about 29 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 Fargo | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 29 mi west-northwest | 1,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 54 mi east-southeast | 3,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 106 mi west | 10,600 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.
