Which radars cover Unadilla?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 37 miles 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 Unadilla | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 37 mi northeast | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 90 mi north-northwest | 8,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 104 mi south-southeast | 10,200 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.
