Which radars cover Industry?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 29 miles 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 Industry | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 29 mi northwest | 1,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KCCX State College, PA | 104 mi east-northeast | 10,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 134 mi northwest | 15,200 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.
