Which radars cover Mayville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBUF (Buffalo, NY), about 62 miles northeast. 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 Mayville	View
KBUF Buffalo, NY	62 mi northeast	4,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCCX State College, PA	120 mi southeast	12,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA	125 mi south-southwest	13,500 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.
