Which radars cover Grenada?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMAX (Medford, OR), about 32 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 Grenada | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMAX Medford, OR | 32 mi north-northwest | 2,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBHX Eureka, CA | 121 mi southwest | 12,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBBX Beale AFB, CA | 155 mi south-southeast | 19,200 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.
