Which radars cover Tyhee?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSFX (Pocatello, ID), about 16 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 Tyhee | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 16 mi northwest | 800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 117 mi south | 12,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KCBX Boise, ID | 194 mi west-northwest | 27,700 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.
