Which radars cover English?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLVX (Louisville, KY), about 38 miles 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 English | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 38 mi southeast | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 69 mi west | 5,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 95 mi north | 8,900 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.
