Which radars cover Geneva?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 54 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 Geneva	View
KCLE Cleveland, OH	54 mi west-southwest	4,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA	96 mi south-southeast	9,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KBUF Buffalo, NY	138 mi northeast	15,900 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.
