Which radars cover Hooper?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 9 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 Hooper | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 9 mi northwest | 400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 135 mi north | 15,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
