Which radars cover Wolf Creek?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 32 miles west. 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 Wolf Creek | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 32 mi west | 2,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 131 mi north-northwest | 14,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 210 mi northeast | 31,600 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.
