Which radars cover Posey?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHNX (San Joaquin Valley, CA), about 64 miles 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 Posey	View
KHNX San Joaquin Valley, CA	64 mi northwest	5,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KEYX Edwards AFB, CA	80 mi southeast	6,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KVTX Los Angeles, CA	100 mi south-southwest	9,600 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.
