Which radars cover Grantsville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 45 miles north. 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 Grantsville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 45 mi north | 3,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 173 mi north | 22,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KICX Cedar City, UT | 210 mi south | 31,700 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.
