Which radars cover Fillmore?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 25 miles east. 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 Fillmore | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 25 mi east | 1,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
