Which radars cover Greenville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 25 miles north-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 Greenville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 25 mi north-northeast | 1,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL | 71 mi west-southwest | 5,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 83 mi east-southeast | 7,300 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.
