Which radars cover Iron City?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEOX (Fort Rucker, AL), about 49 miles northwest. 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 Iron City	View
KEOX Fort Rucker, AL	49 mi northwest	3,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KTLH Tallahassee, FL	51 mi southeast	3,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KEVX Eglin AFB, FL	73 mi west-southwest	6,000 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.
