Which radars cover Valle?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSX (Flagstaff, AZ), about 93 miles 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 Valle | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 93 mi southeast | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KICX Cedar City, UT | 138 mi north-northwest | 15,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KESX Las Vegas, NV | 154 mi west | 18,900 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.
