Which radars cover Midvale?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 61 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 Midvale	View
KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA	61 mi east	4,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCLE Cleveland, OH	72 mi north-northwest	5,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KILN Wilmington, OH	148 mi west-southwest	17,700 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.
