Which radars cover Ney?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 61 miles west. 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 Ney	View
KIWX Fort Wayne, IN	61 mi west	4,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KDTX Detroit, MI	106 mi north-northeast	10,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGRR Grand Rapids, MI	117 mi north-northwest	12,200 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.
