Which radars cover Carey?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 86 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 Carey	View
KCLE Cleveland, OH	86 mi east-northeast	7,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KILN Wilmington, OH	108 mi south-southwest	10,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KDTX Detroit, MI	121 mi north	12,900 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.
