Which radars cover Chandlerville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILX (Lincoln, IL), about 44 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 Chandlerville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILX Lincoln, IL | 44 mi east | 3,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLSX St. Louis, MO | 97 mi south-southwest | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDVN Quad Cities, IA | 110 mi north-northwest | 11,200 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.
