Which radars cover North San Ysidro?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABX (Albuquerque, NM), about 74 miles west-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 North San Ysidro | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KABX Albuquerque, NM | 74 mi west-southwest | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 125 mi east-southeast | 13,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KHDX Holloman AFB, NM | 169 mi south | 22,000 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.
