Which radars cover Lawnside?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDIX (Philadelphia, NJ), about 33 miles east. 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 Lawnside | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 33 mi east | 2,100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 75 mi south-southwest | 6,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOKX Upton, NY | 133 mi east-northeast | 15,000 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.
