Which radars cover Canutillo?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEPZ (El Paso, TX), about 6 miles west-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 Canutillo	View
KEPZ El Paso, TX	6 mi west-southwest	300 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KHDX Holloman AFB, NM	85 mi north-northeast	7,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KABX Albuquerque, NM	224 mi north	35,300 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.
