How well can the network see Freeport?
The nearest Doppler radar is KEVX (Eglin AFB, FL), 13 miles to the ENE. 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 Freeport its center is about 710 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 Freeport, so low-level rotation and the leading edge of a gust front show up on it. Freeport is closer to its radar than 92% of US cities.
The closest instrument actually measuring the air is K54J · DeFuniak Springs Muni on the ASOS/AWOS network, 16 miles away. Far enough that "current conditions" for Freeport is an educated reading of somewhere else, worth knowing before you plan around a single temperature.
Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the center 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 Florida observing network as of this build.
