Which radars cover Lindon?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 74 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 Lindon | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 74 mi north-northwest | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 197 mi north-northwest | 28,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KICX Cedar City, UT | 200 mi south-southwest | 29,200 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.
