Which radars cover Ty Ty?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVAX (Moody AFB, GA), about 56 miles southeast. 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 Ty Ty	View
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	56 mi southeast	4,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KTLH Tallahassee, FL	84 mi south-southwest	7,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	85 mi north-northeast	7,500 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.
