Which radars cover Snowville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 51 miles south-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 Snowville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 51 mi south-southeast | 3,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 78 mi north | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCBX Boise, ID | 207 mi west-northwest | 31,000 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.
