Which radars cover Logan Creek?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRGX (Reno, NV), about 54 miles north-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 Logan Creek | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRGX Reno, NV | 54 mi north-northeast | 3,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KBBX Beale AFB, CA | 96 mi west-northwest | 9,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDAX Sacramento, CA | 102 mi west-southwest | 9,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
