Which radars cover Hobble Creek?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 89 miles north-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 Hobble Creek | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 89 mi north-northwest | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KGJX Grand Junction, CO | 191 mi east-southeast | 27,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KICX Cedar City, UT | 194 mi south-southwest | 27,800 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.
