Which radars cover Beaver?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KICX (Cedar City, UT), about 49 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 Beaver	View
KICX Cedar City, UT	49 mi south-southwest	3,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	207 mi north	30,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KESX Las Vegas, NV	217 mi southwest	33,600 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.
