Which radars cover Glennville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLX (Charleston, SC), about 72 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 Glennville	View
KCLX Charleston, SC	72 mi northeast	5,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	96 mi southwest	9,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	97 mi west-northwest	9,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
