Which radars cover Hoytsville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 62 miles west-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 Hoytsville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 62 mi west-northwest | 4,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 168 mi north-northwest | 21,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGJX Grand Junction, CO | 210 mi southeast | 31,600 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.
