| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Rebecca | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 61 mi north | 4,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |

| KTLH Tallahassee, FL | 109 mi south-southwest | 11,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
