Which radars cover Camden?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 46 miles east-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 Camden	View
KILN Wilmington, OH	46 mi east-southeast	3,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KIND Indianapolis, IN	87 mi west	7,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KIWX Fort Wayne, IN	131 mi north-northwest	14,700 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.
