Which radars cover Lake Point?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 41 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 Lake Point | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 41 mi north-northwest | 2,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 169 mi north | 22,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KICX Cedar City, UT | 216 mi south | 33,300 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.
