Which radars cover Hartland?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHNX (San Joaquin Valley, CA), about 44 miles west-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 Hartland | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KHNX San Joaquin Valley, CA | 44 mi west-southwest | 3,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KEYX Edwards AFB, CA | 133 mi southeast | 15,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KVBX Vandenberg AFB, CA | 149 mi south-southwest | 18,000 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.
