Which radars cover Dupont?

| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Dupont | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 67 mi south-southwest | 5,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |

| KILN Wilmington, OH | 98 mi east-northeast | 9,300 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.
