Which radars cover Gasquet?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMAX (Medford, OR), about 67 miles east-northeast. 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 Gasquet | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMAX Medford, OR | 67 mi east-northeast | 5,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KBHX Eureka, CA | 94 mi south | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBBX Beale AFB, CA | 203 mi southeast | 30,000 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.
