Which radars cover Hideout?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 69 miles 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 Hideout | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 69 mi northwest | 5,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 182 mi north-northwest | 25,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGJX Grand Junction, CO | 202 mi east-southeast | 29,600 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.
