Which radars cover Evaro?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMSX (Missoula, MT), about 3 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 Evaro | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMSX Missoula, MT | 3 mi southeast | 100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KTFX Great Falls, MT | 127 mi east-northeast | 13,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KOTX Spokane, WA | 174 mi west-northwest | 23,100 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.
