Which radars cover Vienna?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 48 miles north-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 Vienna	View
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	48 mi north-northeast	3,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	95 mi south-southeast	8,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KFFC Atlanta, GA	99 mi north-northwest	9,400 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.
