Which radars cover Ocoee?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHTX (Huntsville, AL), about 79 miles west. 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 Ocoee	View
KHTX Huntsville, AL	79 mi west	6,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMRX Knoxville, TN	103 mi northeast	10,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFFC Atlanta, GA	122 mi south	13,100 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.
