Which radars cover Conneaut?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 76 miles west-southwest. 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 Conneaut | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 76 mi west-southwest | 6,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 98 mi south | 9,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 117 mi northeast | 12,200 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.
