Which radars cover Marbleton?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRIW (Riverton, WY), about 89 miles east-northeast. 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 Marbleton | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 89 mi east-northeast | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 136 mi west-northwest | 15,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMTX Salt Lake City, UT | 150 mi southwest | 18,200 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.
