Which radars cover Aguanga?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KNKX (San Diego, CA), about 38 miles south-southwest. 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 Aguanga | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KNKX San Diego, CA | 38 mi south-southwest | 2,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSOX Santa Ana Mountains, CA | 52 mi west-northwest | 3,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KEYX Edwards AFB, CA | 121 mi north-northwest | 12,800 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.
