Which radars cover Meeteetse?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRIW (Riverton, WY), about 77 miles south-southeast. 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 Meeteetse | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRIW Riverton, WY | 77 mi south-southeast | 6,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBLX Billings, MT | 118 mi north | 12,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KSFX Pocatello, ID | 204 mi west-southwest | 30,300 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.
