Which radars cover Wilhoit?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFSX (Flagstaff, AZ), about 82 miles east. 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 Wilhoit | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 82 mi east | 7,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KIWA Phoenix, AZ | 94 mi southeast | 8,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KESX Las Vegas, NV | 157 mi northwest | 19,500 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.
