Which radars cover Toulon?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDVN (Quad Cities, IA), about 52 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 Toulon	View
KDVN Quad Cities, IA	52 mi northwest	3,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KILX Lincoln, IL	71 mi south-southeast	5,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KLOT Chicago, IL	99 mi east-northeast	9,400 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.
