Which radars cover Elizabeth?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLVX (Louisville, KY), about 10 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 Elizabeth	View
KLVX Louisville, KY	10 mi south	500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KVWX Evansville, IN	96 mi west	9,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KIND Indianapolis, IN	111 mi north	11,200 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.
