Which radars cover Pleasantville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 74 miles west-southwest. 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 Pleasantville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 74 mi west-southwest | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRLX Charleston, WV | 112 mi south-southeast | 11,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 116 mi north-northeast | 12,100 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.
