Which radars cover Fremont?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KICX (Cedar City, UT), about 90 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 Fremont	View
KICX Cedar City, UT	90 mi southwest	8,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGJX Grand Junction, CO	188 mi east-northeast	26,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	199 mi north-northwest	29,000 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.
