Which radars cover Edgewood?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 40 miles southwest. 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 Edgewood | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 40 mi southwest | 2,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 87 mi north | 7,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 112 mi east-southeast | 11,500 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.
