Which radars cover Muhlenberg Park?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDIX (Philadelphia, NJ), about 86 miles east-southeast. 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 Muhlenberg Park | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 86 mi east-southeast | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 111 mi south-southeast | 11,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KCCX State College, PA | 114 mi west-northwest | 11,800 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.
