Which radars cover Mountain Park?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 51 miles south. 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 Mountain Park | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 51 mi south | 3,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 112 mi west-northwest | 11,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 115 mi south-southeast | 11,900 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.
