Which radars cover Allendale?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVWX (Evansville, IN), about 19 miles south. 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 Allendale | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 19 mi south | 1,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
