Which radars cover Edon?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 50 miles west-southwest. 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 Edon	View
KIWX Fort Wayne, IN	50 mi west-southwest	3,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KGRR Grand Rapids, MI	101 mi north-northwest	9,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KDTX Detroit, MI	103 mi northeast	10,100 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.
