Which radars cover Meansville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 26 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 Meansville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 26 mi northwest | 1,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 61 mi east-southeast | 4,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL | 93 mi west-southwest | 8,600 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.
