Which radars cover Level Green?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 28 miles west-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 Level Green | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 28 mi west-northwest | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KCCX State College, PA | 97 mi east-northeast | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 132 mi west-northwest | 14,800 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.
