Which radars cover Puerto de Luna?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDX (Cannon AFB, NM), about 59 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 Puerto de Luna | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KFDX Cannon AFB, NM | 59 mi east-southeast | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KABX Albuquerque, NM | 127 mi west | 13,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KHDX Holloman AFB, NM | 148 mi southwest | 17,900 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.
