Which radars cover Vineyard?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 75 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 Vineyard | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 75 mi north-northwest | 6,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KICX Cedar City, UT | 197 mi south-southwest | 28,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 199 mi north-northwest | 29,100 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.
