Which radars cover Brave?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 56 miles north. 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 Brave	View
KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA	56 mi north	4,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KRLX Charleston, WV	125 mi southwest	13,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KCLE Cleveland, OH	144 mi northwest	16,900 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.
