Which radars cover Pueblitos?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABX (Albuquerque, NM), about 37 miles north. 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 Pueblitos | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KABX Albuquerque, NM | 37 mi north | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KHDX Holloman AFB, NM | 113 mi south-southeast | 11,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 180 mi east | 24,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
