Which radars cover Wilsonia?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHNX (San Joaquin Valley, CA), about 47 miles southwest. 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 Wilsonia	View
KHNX San Joaquin Valley, CA	47 mi southwest	3,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KEYX Edwards AFB, CA	137 mi southeast	15,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KVBX Vandenberg AFB, CA	154 mi south-southwest	18,900 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.
