Which radars cover Patricksburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 45 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 Patricksburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 45 mi northeast | 3,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |

| KLVX Louisville, KY | 107 mi south-southeast | 10,700 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.
