Which radars cover Zuni Pueblo?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABX (Albuquerque, NM), about 115 miles east. 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 Zuni Pueblo	View
KABX Albuquerque, NM	115 mi east	11,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFSX Flagstaff, AZ	137 mi west-southwest	15,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KIWA Phoenix, AZ	203 mi southwest	29,800 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.
