Which radars cover Manila?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 143 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 Manila | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 143 mi west | 16,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGJX Grand Junction, CO | 155 mi south-southeast | 19,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 157 mi north-northeast | 19,500 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.
