Which radars cover Mount Eaton?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 50 miles north. 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 Mount Eaton | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 50 mi north | 3,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 79 mi east | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 143 mi southwest | 16,700 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.
