Which radars cover Glezen?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVWX (Evansville, IN), about 25 miles west-southwest. 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 Glezen | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 25 mi west-southwest | 1,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 80 mi east-southeast | 6,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 105 mi north-northeast | 10,300 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.
