Which radars cover Phillipsburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 45 miles 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 Phillipsburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 45 mi southeast | 3,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KIND Indianapolis, IN | 101 mi west | 9,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 121 mi north-northwest | 13,000 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.
