Which radars cover Newnan?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 12 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 Newnan | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 12 mi east | 600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL | 83 mi southwest | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 96 mi east-southeast | 9,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
