Which radars cover Clarendon?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 82 miles southeast. 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 Clarendon | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCCX State College, PA | 82 mi southeast | 7,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 83 mi north-northeast | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 104 mi southwest | 10,200 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.
