Which radars cover Newcastle?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KICX (Cedar City, UT), about 39 miles east. 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 Newcastle	View
KICX Cedar City, UT	39 mi east	2,500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KESX Las Vegas, NV	154 mi south-southwest	19,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFSX Flagstaff, AZ	251 mi south-southeast	43,100 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.
