Which radars cover Raub?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLOT (Chicago, IL), about 68 miles north-northwest. 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 Raub	View
KLOT Chicago, IL	68 mi north-northwest	5,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KIND Indianapolis, IN	95 mi southeast	8,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KIWX Fort Wayne, IN	103 mi east-northeast	10,000 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.
