Which radars cover Homeworth?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 49 miles east-southeast. 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 Homeworth | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 49 mi east-southeast | 3,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 57 mi northwest | 4,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KCCX State College, PA | 160 mi east | 20,200 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.
