Which radars cover Monroe?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KICX (Cedar City, UT), about 82 miles south-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 Monroe	View
KICX Cedar City, UT	82 mi south-southwest	7,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	183 mi north	25,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGJX Grand Junction, CO	212 mi east	32,300 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.
