Which radars cover Cameron?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSX (Flagstaff, AZ), about 89 miles south. 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 Cameron | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 89 mi south | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KICX Cedar City, UT | 144 mi north-northwest | 17,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KIWA Phoenix, AZ | 178 mi south | 24,000 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.
