Which radars cover Sundance?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 75 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 Sundance | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 75 mi northwest | 6,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 196 mi north-northwest | 28,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGJX Grand Junction, CO | 202 mi east-southeast | 29,600 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.
