Which radars cover Borden?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLVX (Louisville, KY), about 34 miles south. 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 Borden	View
KLVX Louisville, KY	34 mi south	2,200 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KIND Indianapolis, IN	87 mi north-northwest	7,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KVWX Evansville, IN	97 mi west	9,200 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.
