Which radars cover Merom?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVWX (Evansville, IN), about 56 miles south. 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 Merom	View
KVWX Evansville, IN	56 mi south	4,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KIND Indianapolis, IN	82 mi east-northeast	7,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KLVX Louisville, KY	115 mi southeast	12,000 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.
