Which radars cover Hyampom?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBHX (Eureka, CA), about 44 miles west. 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 Hyampom | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBHX Eureka, CA | 44 mi west | 3,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMAX Medford, OR | 108 mi north-northeast | 10,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBBX Beale AFB, CA | 125 mi southeast | 13,500 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.
