Which radars cover Addyston?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 51 miles east-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 Addyston | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 51 mi east-northeast | 3,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 92 mi west-northwest | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 104 mi southwest | 10,300 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.
