Which radars cover Jacksonburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 37 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 Jacksonburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 37 mi east-southeast | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 95 mi west | 8,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLVX Louisville, KY | 133 mi southwest | 15,000 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.
