Which radars cover Anoka?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 53 miles 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 Anoka	View
KIWX Fort Wayne, IN	53 mi northeast	3,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KIND Indianapolis, IN	70 mi south	5,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KLOT Chicago, IL	112 mi west-northwest	11,400 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.
