Which radars cover Broadview?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABX (Albuquerque, NM), about 60 miles east. 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 Broadview	View
KABX Albuquerque, NM	60 mi east	4,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KHDX Holloman AFB, NM	179 mi southeast	24,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFSX Flagstaff, AZ	194 mi west-southwest	27,700 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.
