Which radars cover Reddington?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 52 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 Reddington | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 52 mi north-northwest | 3,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 74 mi south | 6,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 111 mi east-northeast | 11,300 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.
