Which radars cover Attica?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 59 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 Attica	View
KCLE Cleveland, OH	59 mi east-northeast	4,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KDTX Detroit, MI	117 mi north-northwest	12,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KILN Wilmington, OH	124 mi south-southwest	13,400 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.
