Which radars cover Bellevue?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 52 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 Bellevue | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 52 mi east | 3,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 104 mi north-northwest | 10,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 138 mi south-southwest | 15,900 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.
