Which radars cover Annabella?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KICX (Cedar City, UT), about 89 miles south-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 Annabella | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KICX Cedar City, UT | 89 mi south-southwest | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 178 mi north | 24,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGJX Grand Junction, CO | 208 mi east | 31,300 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.
