Which radars cover Luthersville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 15 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 Luthersville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 15 mi northeast | 800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL | 76 mi southwest | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 89 mi east-southeast | 8,000 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.
