Which radars cover Elizaville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 29 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 Elizaville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 29 mi south | 1,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 92 mi north-northeast | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLOT Chicago, IL | 136 mi northwest | 15,500 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.
