Which radars cover Greenfield?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 28 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 Greenfield | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 28 mi west-southwest | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
