Which radars cover Goff?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTWX (Topeka, KS), about 49 miles south-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 Goff	View
KTWX Topeka, KS	49 mi south-southwest	3,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KEAX Kansas City, MO	107 mi east-southeast	10,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KOAX Omaha, NE	117 mi north	12,200 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.
