Which radars cover Rhine?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 48 miles north. 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 Rhine | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 48 mi north | 3,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 77 mi south | 6,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 124 mi northwest | 13,400 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.
