Which radars cover Mifflin?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 51 miles north-northeast. 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 Mifflin | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 51 mi north-northeast | 3,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 114 mi east | 11,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 121 mi southwest | 12,900 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.
