Which radars cover Chesterhill?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRLX (Charleston, WV), about 82 miles south. 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 Chesterhill | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRLX Charleston, WV | 82 mi south | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 104 mi west | 10,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 113 mi northeast | 11,600 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.
