Which radars cover Stockett?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTFX (Great Falls, MT), about 12 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 Stockett | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTFX Great Falls, MT | 12 mi northwest | 700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KMSX Missoula, MT | 134 mi west | 15,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBLX Billings, MT | 160 mi southeast | 20,100 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.
