Which radars cover Byesville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 80 miles east-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 Byesville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 80 mi east-northeast | 6,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 101 mi north | 9,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRLX Charleston, WV | 115 mi south | 12,000 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.
