Which radars cover Tesuque Pueblo?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABX (Albuquerque, NM), about 66 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 Tesuque Pueblo | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KABX Albuquerque, NM | 66 mi southwest | 5,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
