Which radars cover Summerfield?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 78 miles 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 Summerfield	View
KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA	78 mi northeast	6,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KRLX Charleston, WV	105 mi south-southwest	10,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KCLE Cleveland, OH	115 mi north-northwest	11,900 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.
