Which radars cover Mather?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 42 miles north. 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 Mather	View
KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA	42 mi north	2,800 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KCCX State College, PA	129 mi east-northeast	14,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KCLE Cleveland, OH	139 mi northwest	16,000 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.
