Which radars cover Mogollon?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEMX (Tucson, AZ), about 149 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 Mogollon	View
KEMX Tucson, AZ	149 mi southwest	18,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KHDX Holloman AFB, NM	157 mi east	19,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFSX Flagstaff, AZ	159 mi west-northwest	20,000 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.
