Which radars cover Hasty?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPUX (Pueblo, CO), about 70 miles west-northwest. 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 Hasty	View
KPUX Pueblo, CO	70 mi west-northwest	5,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KGLD Goodland, KS	111 mi northeast	11,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFTG Denver/Boulder, CO	144 mi northwest	17,000 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.
