Which radars cover Geneva?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 54 miles north. 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 Geneva | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 54 mi north | 4,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |

| KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL | 72 mi west | 5,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
