Which radars cover Bloomfield?

| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Bloomfield | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 59 mi northeast | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |

| KLVX Louisville, KY | 90 mi southeast | 8,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
