Which radars cover Milford?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KICX (Cedar City, UT), about 56 miles south. 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 Milford | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KICX Cedar City, UT | 56 mi south | 4,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 200 mi north | 29,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
