Which radars cover Warrington?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIND (Indianapolis, IN), about 37 miles west-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 Warrington | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 37 mi west-southwest | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 100 mi north | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 102 mi east-southeast | 9,900 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.
