Which radars cover Nageezi?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABX (Albuquerque, NM), about 92 miles 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 Nageezi | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KABX Albuquerque, NM | 92 mi southeast | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGJX Grand Junction, CO | 196 mi north | 28,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFSX Flagstaff, AZ | 226 mi west-southwest | 35,900 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.
