Which radars cover Regina?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABX (Albuquerque, NM), about 73 miles south. 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 Regina | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KABX Albuquerque, NM | 73 mi south | 6,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGJX Grand Junction, CO | 210 mi north-northwest | 31,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 216 mi east-southeast | 33,300 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.
