Which radars cover St. George?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCXX (Burlington, VT), about 9 miles north. 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 St. George | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 9 mi north | 500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KENX Albany, NY | 132 mi south-southwest | 14,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KTYX Montague, NY | 134 mi west-southwest | 15,100 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.
