Which radars cover Reynolds?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 74 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 Reynolds | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 74 mi northeast | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 78 mi south-southeast | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLOT Chicago, IL | 86 mi northwest | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
