Which radars cover Gamerco?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABX (Albuquerque, NM), about 113 miles east-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 Gamerco	View
KABX Albuquerque, NM	113 mi east-southeast	11,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFSX Flagstaff, AZ	154 mi west-southwest	18,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KIWA Phoenix, AZ	229 mi southwest	36,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
