Which radars cover Fields Landing?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBHX (Eureka, CA), about 16 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 Fields Landing	View
KBHX Eureka, CA	16 mi south-southwest	900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KMAX Medford, OR	122 mi northeast	13,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBBX Beale AFB, CA	161 mi east-southeast	20,400 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.
