Which radars cover Clarksville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 40 miles north-northwest. 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 Clarksville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 40 mi north-northwest | 2,600 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KCCX State College, PA | 126 mi east-northeast | 13,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 138 mi northwest | 15,800 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.
