Which radars cover La Verne?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSOX (Santa Ana Mountains, CA), about 22 miles south-southeast. 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 La Verne	View
KSOX Santa Ana Mountains, CA	22 mi south-southeast	1,300 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KEYX Edwards AFB, CA	69 mi north	5,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KVTX Los Angeles, CA	83 mi west-northwest	7,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
