Which radars cover Gray?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 25 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 Gray	View
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	25 mi south-southeast	1,500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KFFC Atlanta, GA	64 mi west-northwest	5,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL	135 mi west-southwest	15,300 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.
