Which radars cover Loysville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 52 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 Loysville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCCX State College, PA | 52 mi northwest | 3,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 97 mi south | 9,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 145 mi north-northeast | 17,100 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.
