Which radars cover Rose Hill?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVWX (Evansville, IN), about 63 miles south-southeast. 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 Rose Hill | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 63 mi south-southeast | 4,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KILX Lincoln, IL | 96 mi northwest | 9,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 108 mi east-northeast | 10,800 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.
