Which radars cover Tallulah Falls?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGSP (Greer, SC), about 67 miles east. 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 Tallulah Falls | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGSP Greer, SC | 67 mi east | 5,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMRX Knoxville, TN | 100 mi north | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 116 mi southwest | 12,000 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.
