Which radars cover Goodman?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMQT (Marquette, MI), about 74 miles north-northeast. 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 Goodman | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMQT Marquette, MI | 74 mi north-northeast | 6,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |

| KAPX Gaylord, MI | 183 mi east-southeast | 25,300 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.
