| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over New Troy | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 57 mi southeast | 4,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLOT Chicago, IL | 82 mi west-southwest | 7,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
