Which radars cover Goodsprings?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KESX (Las Vegas, NV), about 32 miles east-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 Goodsprings | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KESX Las Vegas, NV | 32 mi east-southeast | 2,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KEYX Edwards AFB, CA | 130 mi west-southwest | 14,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
