Which radars cover Green Springs?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 63 miles east. 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 Green Springs | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 63 mi east | 4,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 102 mi north-northwest | 9,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 133 mi south-southwest | 15,000 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.
