Which radars cover Weston?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPUX (Pueblo, CO), about 98 miles north-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 Weston | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPUX Pueblo, CO | 98 mi north-northeast | 9,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KABX Albuquerque, NM | 176 mi southwest | 23,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFTG Denver/Boulder, CO | 183 mi north | 25,200 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.
