Which radars cover Milner?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 28 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 Milner	View
KFFC Atlanta, GA	28 mi northwest	1,700 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	57 mi east-southeast	4,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL	101 mi west-southwest	9,800 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.
