Which radars cover Summitville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 55 miles southwest. 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 Summitville	View
KIND Indianapolis, IN	55 mi southwest	4,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KIWX Fort Wayne, IN	71 mi north	5,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KILN Wilmington, OH	115 mi east-southeast	12,000 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.
