Which radars cover Incline Village?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRGX (Reno, NV), about 42 miles northeast. 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 Incline Village | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRGX Reno, NV | 42 mi northeast | 2,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBBX Beale AFB, CA | 91 mi west | 8,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDAX Sacramento, CA | 107 mi west-southwest | 10,700 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.
