Which radars cover Rogers?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 28 miles southeast. 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 Rogers | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 28 mi southeast | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 77 mi northwest | 6,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCCX State College, PA | 137 mi east | 15,800 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.
