Which radars cover Stagecoach?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRGX (Reno, NV), about 27 miles north. 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 Stagecoach | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRGX Reno, NV | 27 mi north | 1,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBBX Beale AFB, CA | 120 mi west | 12,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDAX Sacramento, CA | 137 mi west-southwest | 15,700 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.
