Which radars cover Weed?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMAX (Medford, OR), about 49 miles north-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 Weed | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMAX Medford, OR | 49 mi north-northwest | 3,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KBHX Eureka, CA | 118 mi west-southwest | 12,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBBX Beale AFB, CA | 138 mi south-southeast | 15,900 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.
