Which radars cover Flora?

| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Flora | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 59 mi south-southeast | 4,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |

| KLOT Chicago, IL | 109 mi northwest | 11,000 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.
