Which radars cover Norwood?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGJX (Grand Junction, CO), about 65 miles north. 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 Norwood	View
KGJX Grand Junction, CO	65 mi north	5,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KABX Albuquerque, NM	221 mi south-southeast	34,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KPUX Pueblo, CO	224 mi east	35,400 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.
