Which radars cover Stockbridge?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 22 miles west-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 Stockbridge | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 22 mi west-southwest | 1,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 78 mi southeast | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL | 113 mi southwest | 11,600 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.
