Which radars cover Scofield?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 126 miles north-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 Scofield | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 126 mi north-northwest | 13,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |

| KICX Cedar City, UT | 173 mi south-southwest | 23,000 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.
