Which radars cover Lakemore?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 35 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 Lakemore | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 35 mi northwest | 2,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 72 mi east-southeast | 5,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 157 mi northwest | 19,500 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.
