Which radars cover Naylor?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVAX (Moody AFB, GA), about 5 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 Naylor | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 5 mi east-southeast | 200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
