Which radars cover Morgan?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 43 miles west-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 Morgan | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 43 mi west-northwest | 2,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 152 mi north-northwest | 18,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 216 mi northeast | 33,200 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.
