Which radars cover Homerville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVAX (Moody AFB, GA), about 18 miles west-southwest. 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 Homerville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 18 mi west-southwest | 1,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 73 mi east-southeast | 6,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 104 mi west-southwest | 10,200 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.
