Which radars cover Fox Farm-College?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCYS (Cheyenne, WY), about 3 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 Fox Farm-College | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCYS Cheyenne, WY | 3 mi north-northwest | 100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KFTG Denver/Boulder, CO | 92 mi south | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPUX Pueblo, CO | 186 mi south | 25,900 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.
