Which radars cover Conejos?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPUX (Pueblo, CO), about 138 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 Conejos	View
KPUX Pueblo, CO	138 mi northeast	15,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KABX Albuquerque, NM	141 mi south-southwest	16,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGJX Grand Junction, CO	181 mi northwest	24,800 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.
