Which radars cover Summit Park?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 58 miles 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 Summit Park | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 58 mi northwest | 4,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 173 mi north-northwest | 22,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGJX Grand Junction, CO | 213 mi east-southeast | 32,600 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.
