Which radars cover Perry?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 26 miles east-northeast. 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 Perry	View
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	26 mi east-northeast	1,500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KFFC Atlanta, GA	78 mi northwest	6,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	117 mi south-southeast	12,300 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.
