Which radars cover Monticello?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 47 miles south-southeast. 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 Monticello	View
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	47 mi south-southeast	3,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KFFC Atlanta, GA	51 mi west	3,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL	133 mi west-southwest	14,900 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.
