Which radars cover Roxborough Park?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFTG (Denver/Boulder, CO), about 36 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 Roxborough Park | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFTG Denver/Boulder, CO | 36 mi northeast | 2,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPUX Pueblo, CO | 84 mi southeast | 7,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCYS Cheyenne, WY | 118 mi north | 12,500 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.
