Which radars cover Weiser?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCBX (Boise, ID), about 64 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 Weiser | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCBX Boise, ID | 64 mi southeast | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
