Which radars cover Mantua?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 31 miles west-southwest. 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 Mantua | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 31 mi west-southwest | 1,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 118 mi north-northwest | 12,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 207 mi east-northeast | 31,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
