Which radars cover Pine?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSX (Flagstaff, AZ), about 20 miles northeast. 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 Pine | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 20 mi northeast | 1,100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KIWA Phoenix, AZ | 76 mi south | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KEMX Tucson, AZ | 178 mi south-southeast | 24,100 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.
