Which radars cover Millwood?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 51 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 Millwood | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 51 mi west-northwest | 3,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KCCX State College, PA | 78 mi east-northeast | 6,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 135 mi southeast | 15,300 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.
