Which radars cover Morven?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVAX (Moody AFB, GA), about 30 miles east. 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 Morven | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 30 mi east | 1,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 62 mi southwest | 4,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 111 mi east-southeast | 11,300 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.
