Which radars cover Statesboro?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLX (Charleston, SC), about 45 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 Statesboro	View
KCLX Charleston, SC	45 mi east-northeast	3,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	93 mi west	8,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KCAE Columbia, SC	111 mi north-northeast	11,300 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.
