Which radars cover Cornville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSX (Flagstaff, AZ), about 42 miles east-southeast. 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 Cornville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 42 mi east-southeast | 2,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KIWA Phoenix, AZ | 101 mi south | 9,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KESX Las Vegas, NV | 181 mi west-northwest | 24,700 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.
