Which radars cover Libertyville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 66 miles east. 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 Libertyville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 66 mi east | 5,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KVWX Evansville, IN | 94 mi south | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KILX Lincoln, IL | 104 mi west-northwest | 10,100 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.
