Which radars cover Dewey-Humboldt?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSX (Flagstaff, AZ), about 60 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 Dewey-Humboldt | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 60 mi east | 4,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KIWA Phoenix, AZ | 91 mi south-southeast | 8,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KESX Las Vegas, NV | 170 mi west-northwest | 22,300 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.
