Which radars cover Park City?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBLX (Billings, MT), about 22 miles northeast. 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 Park City | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBLX Billings, MT | 22 mi northeast | 1,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KTFX Great Falls, MT | 172 mi northwest | 22,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 179 mi south | 24,200 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.
