Which radars cover Lovelock?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRGX (Reno, NV), about 60 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 Lovelock | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRGX Reno, NV | 60 mi west-southwest | 4,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLRX Elko, NV | 96 mi east-northeast | 9,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBBX Beale AFB, CA | 174 mi west-southwest | 23,100 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.
