Which radars cover McCammon?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSFX (Pocatello, ID), about 40 miles 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 McCammon | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 40 mi northwest | 2,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 97 mi south | 9,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 190 mi east | 26,900 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.
