Which radars cover Juntura?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCBX (Boise, ID), about 94 miles east. 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 Juntura | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCBX Boise, ID | 94 mi east | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPDT Pendleton, OR | 140 mi north-northwest | 16,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLRX Elko, NV | 218 mi south-southeast | 33,800 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.
