Which radars cover Crandall?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLVX (Louisville, KY), about 23 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 Crandall	View
KLVX Louisville, KY	23 mi south-southeast	1,300 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KVWX Evansville, IN	90 mi west	8,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KIND Indianapolis, IN	99 mi north	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.
