Which radars cover Lagrange?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 25 miles 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 Lagrange	View
KIWX Fort Wayne, IN	25 mi southwest	1,400 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KGRR Grand Rapids, MI	86 mi north	7,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KDTX Detroit, MI	123 mi northeast	13,300 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.

Tornado & hail history near Lagrange

Since 1950, NOAA has recorded 75 tornadoes within 25 miles of Lagrange, 26 of them EF2/F2 or stronger. Most came in April and June. The strongest was an F4 on April 11, 1965, which passed about 8 miles north-northwest of town and caused 36 deaths. The most recent was an EF1 on April 2, 2025, which passed about 14 miles east-northeast of town.

Hail: 180 reports of 1-inch or larger hail within 25 miles since 1955, 19 of them 2 inches or more; the largest was 4.25-inch hail on May 6, 2004.

Source: NOAA Storm Prediction Center — tornadoes 1950–2025, hail 1955–2025. Distances are to each tornado's track; ratings before February 2007 use the original Fujita scale.

Where is the nearest weather radar to Lagrange, IN?

KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 25 miles southwest. KGRR (Grand Rapids, MI) is 86 miles away and also covers the area.

Does radar show snow in Lagrange?

Yes. TALON colors snow blue, a rain–snow mix pink and freezing rain purple using NOAA's precipitation-type analysis. Over Lagrange the lowest scan from KIWX is about 1,400 ft up.

Is TALON's radar for Lagrange free?

Yes — the US radar loop, rain/snow/ice colors, flash-flood risk, storm tracks and NWS warnings are free in any browser. Close-up radar, rotation detection and longer forecasts are part of TALON Pro.

Should I rely on radar for my safety?

No app replaces official warnings. When the National Weather Service issues a warning for Lagrange, follow it right away — see watch vs. warning.
