Which radars cover Andersonville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 43 miles west. 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 Andersonville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 43 mi west | 2,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
