Which radars cover Corry?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBUF (Buffalo, NY), about 84 miles north-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 Corry | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 84 mi north-northeast | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 101 mi south-southwest | 9,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCCX State College, PA | 109 mi southeast | 11,000 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.
