Which radars cover Indian Springs?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KESX (Las Vegas, NV), about 76 miles 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 Indian Springs | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KESX Las Vegas, NV | 76 mi southeast | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
