Which radars cover Cuyamungue?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABX (Albuquerque, NM), about 67 miles southwest. 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 Cuyamungue | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KABX Albuquerque, NM | 67 mi southwest | 5,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
