Which radars cover Mina?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRGX (Reno, NV), about 119 miles northwest. 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 Mina | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRGX Reno, NV | 119 mi northwest | 12,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
