Which radars cover Stones Landing?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRGX (Reno, NV), about 93 miles 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 Stones Landing | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRGX Reno, NV | 93 mi southeast | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
