Which radars cover Verde Village?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSX (Flagstaff, AZ), about 46 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 Verde Village | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 46 mi east-southeast | 3,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KIWA Phoenix, AZ | 100 mi south | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KESX Las Vegas, NV | 177 mi west-northwest | 23,900 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.
