Which radars cover Woodstock?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 54 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 Woodstock | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 54 mi south-southwest | 4,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 122 mi northeast | 13,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KIWX Fort Wayne, IN | 140 mi northwest | 16,300 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.
