Which radars cover Greentown?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 41 miles northwest. 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 Greentown | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 41 mi northwest | 2,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 68 mi east-southeast | 5,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 162 mi northwest | 20,700 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.
