Which radars cover Meyers?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRGX (Reno, NV), about 70 miles north-northeast. 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 Meyers | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRGX Reno, NV | 70 mi north-northeast | 5,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDAX Sacramento, CA | 92 mi west-southwest | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBBX Beale AFB, CA | 98 mi west-northwest | 9,300 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.
