Which radars cover Naples?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGJX (Grand Junction, CO), about 116 miles southeast. 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 Naples | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGJX Grand Junction, CO | 116 mi southeast | 12,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 165 mi west-northwest | 21,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 189 mi north-northeast | 26,700 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.
