Which radars cover Huron?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 36 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 Huron | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 36 mi east | 2,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 101 mi north-northwest | 9,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 136 mi east-southeast | 15,500 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.
