Which radars cover Stinesville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 34 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 Stinesville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 34 mi northeast | 2,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |

| KLVX Louisville, KY | 99 mi south-southeast | 9,500 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.
