Which radars cover Soperton?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 49 miles west-northwest. 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 Soperton	View
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	49 mi west-northwest	3,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCLX Charleston, SC	92 mi east-northeast	8,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	106 mi south-southwest	10,400 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.
