Which radars cover Greens Fork?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 67 miles west. 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 Greens Fork | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 67 mi west | 5,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 72 mi east-southeast | 6,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 107 mi north-northwest | 10,700 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.
