Which radars cover Emery?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KICX (Cedar City, UT), about 127 miles 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 Emery	View
KICX Cedar City, UT	127 mi southwest	13,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGJX Grand Junction, CO	163 mi east	20,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	173 mi north-northwest	23,000 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.
