Which radars cover Leesville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 52 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 Leesville	View
KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA	52 mi east	3,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCLE Cleveland, OH	75 mi north-northwest	6,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KRLX Charleston, WV	150 mi south	18,300 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.
