Which radars cover Marseilles?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 91 miles south-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 Marseilles | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 91 mi south-southwest | 8,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 94 mi east-northeast | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 129 mi west-northwest | 14,200 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.
