Which radars cover Screven?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVAX (Moody AFB, GA), about 71 miles 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 Screven	View
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	71 mi southwest	5,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KJAX Jacksonville, FL	72 mi south-southeast	5,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCLX Charleston, SC	99 mi northeast	9,500 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.
