Which radars cover New Bloomington?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 85 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 New Bloomington | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 85 mi south-southwest | 7,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |

| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 136 mi west-northwest | 15,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
