Which radars cover Dexter City?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 90 miles 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 Dexter City | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 90 mi northeast | 8,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRLX Charleston, WV | 94 mi south | 8,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 123 mi north | 13,200 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.
