Which radars cover Plain City?

| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Plain City | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 19 mi west | 1,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 128 mi north-northwest | 14,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 222 mi northeast | 34,800 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.
