Place data from the US Census Bureau. Coordinates are the Census internal point for Mobile, and the forecast is for that location, not for every address inside the city limits, and a large city can have real weather differences from one side to the other.

How well can the network see Mobile?

The nearest Doppler radar is KMOB (Mobile, AL), 8.3 miles to the W. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Mobile its centre is about 420 ft above ground. That is about as close as radar coverage gets in the United States: the lowest scan is still near the ground when it reaches Mobile, so low-level rotation and the leading edge of a gust front show up on it. Mobile is closer to its radar than 97% of US cities.

The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KBFM · Mobile/Downtown Arpt on the ASOS/AWOS network, 4.3 miles away. Close enough that its readings are, for practical purposes, the conditions in town.

Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the centre of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it. Radar siting from the NWS WSR-88D network, station positions from the Alabama observing network as of this build.
