Which radars cover Twelve Mile?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 43 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 Twelve Mile | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 43 mi northeast | 2,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 80 mi south | 6,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLOT Chicago, IL | 110 mi west-northwest | 11,100 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.
