Which radars cover Dilkon?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSX (Flagstaff, AZ), about 74 miles southwest. 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 Dilkon | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 74 mi southwest | 6,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KIWA Phoenix, AZ | 162 mi south-southwest | 20,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KABX Albuquerque, NM | 197 mi east | 28,500 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.
