Which radars cover Tiro?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCLE (Cleveland, OH), about 59 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 Tiro | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 59 mi northeast | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KILN Wilmington, OH | 117 mi south-southwest | 12,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KDTX Detroit, MI | 129 mi north-northwest | 14,300 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.
