| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Centerville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 38 mi northwest | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 156 mi north-northwest | 19,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
