Which radars cover Doyle?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRGX (Reno, NV), about 39 miles east-southeast. 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 Doyle	View
KRGX Reno, NV	39 mi east-southeast	2,600 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KBBX Beale AFB, CA	89 mi west-southwest	8,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KDAX Sacramento, CA	135 mi southwest	15,300 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.
