Which radars cover Kemmerer?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 104 miles west-southwest. 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 Kemmerer	View
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	104 mi west-southwest	10,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
