Which radars cover New Knoxville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 79 miles south-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 New Knoxville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 79 mi south-southeast | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |

| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 117 mi west-southwest | 12,300 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.
