Which radars cover Waverly?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJAX (Jacksonville, FL), about 43 miles south. 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 Waverly | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KJAX Jacksonville, FL | 43 mi south | 2,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVAX Moody AFB, GA | 77 mi west | 6,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCLX Charleston, SC | 114 mi north-northeast | 11,800 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.
