Which radars cover Berino?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEPZ (El Paso, TX), about 14 miles south-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 Berino | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEPZ El Paso, TX | 14 mi south-southwest | 800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KHDX Holloman AFB, NM | 76 mi north-northeast | 6,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KABX Albuquerque, NM | 213 mi north | 32,600 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.
