Which radars cover Logan?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDX (Cannon AFB, NM), about 51 miles south. 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 Logan | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 51 mi south | 3,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KAMA Amarillo, TX | 99 mi east | 9,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLBB Lubbock, TX | 150 mi southeast | 18,200 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.
