Which radars cover Liberty?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 31 miles west. 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 Liberty | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 31 mi west | 1,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 129 mi north-northwest | 14,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 210 mi northeast | 31,800 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.
