Which radars cover Berwyn?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDIX (Philadelphia, NJ), about 55 miles east. 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 Berwyn | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 55 mi east | 4,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 84 mi south | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 131 mi west-southwest | 14,700 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.
