Which radars cover Woodland?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFFC (Atlanta, GA), about 40 miles north. 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 Woodland | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFFC Atlanta, GA | 40 mi north | 2,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KJGX Robins AFB, GA | 71 mi east | 5,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL | 74 mi west-southwest | 6,100 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.
