Which radars cover Moore?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSFX (Pocatello, ID), about 55 miles southeast. 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 Moore	View
KSFX Pocatello, ID	55 mi southeast	4,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCBX Boise, ID	145 mi west	17,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	177 mi south-southeast	23,800 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.
