Which radars cover Parrott?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEOX (Fort Rucker, AL), about 63 miles west-southwest. 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 Parrott | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEOX Fort Rucker, AL | 63 mi west-southwest | 4,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 87 mi northeast | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL | 87 mi west-northwest | 7,800 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.
