Which radars cover Geneva?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 37 miles northwest. 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 Geneva | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 37 mi northwest | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 99 mi south | 9,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 101 mi east | 9,800 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.
