Which radars cover Deseret?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KICX (Cedar City, UT), about 118 miles south. 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 Deseret	View
KICX Cedar City, UT	118 mi south	12,400 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	137 mi north	15,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGJX Grand Junction, CO	238 mi east	39,300 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.
