Which radars cover Rose Farm?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KILN (Wilmington, OH), about 95 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 Rose Farm | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 95 mi west-southwest | 9,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRLX Charleston, WV | 100 mi south | 9,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 113 mi east-northeast | 11,500 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.
