Which radars cover Warren?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 49 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 Warren | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 49 mi north-northwest | 3,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 81 mi southwest | 7,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 122 mi southeast | 13,000 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.
