Which radars cover Lula?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 88 miles 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 Lula	View
KFFC Atlanta, GA	88 mi southwest	8,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGSP Greer, SC	89 mi east-northeast	8,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	120 mi south	12,800 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.
