Which radars cover Greenfield?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 24 miles west-northwest. 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 Greenfield | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 24 mi west-northwest | 1,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
