Which radars cover Marshall?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 78 miles east-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 Marshall	View
KIND Indianapolis, IN	78 mi east-northeast	6,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KVWX Evansville, IN	79 mi south	6,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KILX Lincoln, IL	102 mi west-northwest	9,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
