Which radars cover Auberry?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHNX (San Joaquin Valley, CA), about 54 miles south. 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 Auberry | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHNX San Joaquin Valley, CA | 54 mi south | 4,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMUX San Francisco, CA | 135 mi west | 15,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDAX Sacramento, CA | 156 mi northwest | 19,300 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.
