Which radars cover Fort Valley?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSX (Flagstaff, AZ), about 60 miles south-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 Fort Valley | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 60 mi south-southeast | 4,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KIWA Phoenix, AZ | 141 mi south | 16,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KICX Cedar City, UT | 169 mi north-northwest | 22,000 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.
