Which radars cover Bridgeport?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRGX (Reno, NV), about 104 miles north. 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 Bridgeport | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRGX Reno, NV | 104 mi north | 10,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDAX Sacramento, CA | 135 mi west | 15,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KHNX San Joaquin Valley, CA | 136 mi south | 15,500 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.
