Which radars cover Edwardsburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 36 miles south-southeast. 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 Edwardsburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 36 mi south-southeast | 2,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KGRR Grand Rapids, MI | 81 mi north-northeast | 7,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLOT Chicago, IL | 104 mi west | 10,200 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.
