Which radars cover Neoga?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILX (Lincoln, IL), about 74 miles northwest. 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 Neoga | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILX Lincoln, IL | 74 mi northwest | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 83 mi south-southeast | 7,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 119 mi east-northeast | 12,500 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.
