Which radars cover Camp Verde?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSX (Flagstaff, AZ), about 38 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 Camp Verde | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 38 mi east | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KIWA Phoenix, AZ | 89 mi south | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KESX Las Vegas, NV | 188 mi west-northwest | 26,400 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.
