Which radars cover Greasewood?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSX (Flagstaff, AZ), about 100 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 Greasewood | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 100 mi southwest | 9,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KABX Albuquerque, NM | 173 mi east | 23,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KIWA Phoenix, AZ | 186 mi southwest | 25,900 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.
