Which radars cover Richfield?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KICX (Cedar City, UT), about 91 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 Richfield	View
KICX Cedar City, UT	91 mi south-southwest	8,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	174 mi north	23,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGJX Grand Junction, CO	210 mi east	31,600 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.
