Which radars cover Cinnamon Lake?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 34 miles north-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 Cinnamon Lake | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 34 mi north-northeast | 2,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 108 mi east-southeast | 10,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 135 mi north-northwest | 15,400 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.
