Which radars cover Edison?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 79 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 Edison | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 79 mi northeast | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 94 mi south-southwest | 8,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 139 mi east | 16,000 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.
