Which radars cover Midville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 66 miles west. 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 Midville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 66 mi west | 5,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |

| KCAE Columbia, SC | 101 mi northeast | 9,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
