Which radars cover Sharpsburg?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 5 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 Sharpsburg	View
KFFC Atlanta, GA	5 mi east-northeast	300 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL	86 mi southwest	7,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	88 mi east-southeast	7,900 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.
