Which radars cover Millwood?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVAX (Moody AFB, GA), about 33 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 Millwood | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 33 mi southwest | 2,100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 78 mi southeast | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 106 mi north-northwest | 10,400 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.
