Which radars cover Seligman?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSX (Flagstaff, AZ), about 107 miles east-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 Seligman | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 107 mi east-southeast | 10,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KESX Las Vegas, NV | 117 mi west-northwest | 12,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KIWA Phoenix, AZ | 156 mi south-southeast | 19,400 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.
