Which radars cover Mona?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 105 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 Mona | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 105 mi north-northwest | 10,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KICX Cedar City, UT | 163 mi south-southwest | 20,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGJX Grand Junction, CO | 200 mi east-southeast | 29,300 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.
