Which radars cover Stryker?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KIWX (Fort Wayne, IN), about 67 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 Stryker	View
KIWX Fort Wayne, IN	67 mi west	5,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KDTX Detroit, MI	96 mi north-northeast	9,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGRR Grand Rapids, MI	112 mi north-northwest	11,500 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.
