Which radars cover White?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 64 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 White | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 64 mi south | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KHTX Huntsville, AL | 88 mi west-northwest | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL | 135 mi south-southwest | 15,300 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.
