Which radars cover Anthony?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEPZ (El Paso, TX), about 10 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 Anthony | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KEPZ El Paso, TX | 10 mi southwest | 500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KHDX Holloman AFB, NM | 80 mi north-northeast | 6,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KABX Albuquerque, NM | 219 mi north | 34,100 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.
