Which radars cover New Gretna?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDIX (Philadelphia, NJ), about 25 miles north. 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 New Gretna | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 25 mi north | 1,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 75 mi southwest | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOKX Upton, NY | 122 mi northeast | 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.
