Which radars cover Gazelle?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMAX (Medford, OR), about 41 miles north-northwest. 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 Gazelle	View
KMAX Medford, OR	41 mi north-northwest	2,700 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KBHX Eureka, CA	116 mi southwest	12,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBBX Beale AFB, CA	147 mi south-southeast	17,600 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.
