Which radars cover Yerington?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRGX (Reno, NV), about 58 miles north-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 Yerington | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRGX Reno, NV | 58 mi north-northwest | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KBBX Beale AFB, CA | 140 mi west-northwest | 16,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDAX Sacramento, CA | 142 mi west-southwest | 16,600 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.
