Which radars cover Howell?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 36 miles south. 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 Howell | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 36 mi south | 2,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 93 mi north | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 221 mi east-northeast | 34,700 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.
