Which radars cover Noblesville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 27 miles south-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 Noblesville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 27 mi south-southwest | 1,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |

| KILN Wilmington, OH | 124 mi east-southeast | 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.
