Which radars cover LaGrange?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 36 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 LaGrange	View
KFFC Atlanta, GA	36 mi northeast	2,300 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL	55 mi southwest	4,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KBMX Birmingham, AL	101 mi west	9,700 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.
