Which radars cover Musella?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 41 miles east-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 Musella | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 41 mi east-southeast | 2,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 50 mi northwest | 3,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL | 104 mi west | 10,200 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.
