Which radars cover Glen Campbell?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 44 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 Glen Campbell | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCCX State College, PA | 44 mi east | 3,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 75 mi west-southwest | 6,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 146 mi south-southeast | 17,400 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.
