Which radars cover Clear Creek?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 131 miles north-northwest. 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 Clear Creek | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 131 mi north-northwest | 14,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
