Which radars cover Delta?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDTX (Detroit, MI), about 82 miles north-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 Delta | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 82 mi north-northeast | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 88 mi west | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 112 mi east | 11,500 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.
