Which radars cover Monrovia?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 13 miles northeast. 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 Monrovia | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 13 mi northeast | 700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |

| KLVX Louisville, KY | 115 mi south-southeast | 11,900 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.
